Club career
Born in Portas, Galicia, Goldar played youth football with local RC Celta de Vigo. He started his senior career in 2013 with the B team in the Segunda División B, being initially deployed as a defensive midfielder.Goldar made his La Liga debut on 3 May 2014, coming on as a 76th-minute substitute for Andreu Fontàs in a 2–0 away win against CA Osasuna. In June 2016 he was released from his contract, and on 14 September he signed for third-division club SD Ponferradina.
Goldar continued in division three in the 2017–18 season, with Pontevedra CF. On 9 July 2018, he joined UE Cornellà of the same league, being a regular starter during the campaign and scoring four goals.
On 2 July 2019, Goldar agreed to a two-year contract with Gimnàstic de Tarragona, recently relegated to the third tier. In the summer of 2020, he moved to UD Ibiza. He helped the latter side to reach the Segunda División for the first time ever in his first year, contributing four goals to this feat.
In 2021–22, which was also his first season at that level, Goldar helped Ibiza to stay up with seven goals from 36 games which were the best figures for a defender in nine years; most were headed in from corner kicks. On 26 January 2023, however, he terminated his contract with the club, and joined Burgos CF later that day.
On 22 August 2023, Burgos announced the transfer of Goldar to Pafos FC from Cyprus. He helped them to win the first title of their ten-year history, the 2023–24 Cypriot Cup, adding the following season's national championship to reach the league phase of the UEFA Champions League.
