Darryl Hérold Goulon (born 12 June 1988), commonly known as Hérold Goulon, is a French footballer who plays as a defensive or a central midfielder for Doxa Katokopias. His playing style and ability have drawn comparisons to Patrick Vieira.
Goulon, in 2002, was selected to attend the famous Clairefontaine academy. After leaving the academy, he joined French champions Olympique Lyonnais.
After spending a year in the reserves, playing in only 3 matches, he joined English side Middlesbrough agreeing to a three-year deal. Despite the hype surrounding the signing by Middlesbrough and their supporters, including comparing the youngster to the likes of Patrick Vieira, Goulon only featured in the reserves. After going through the duration of his contract, the English club released him, without the player ever playing a match in the Premier League.
Goulon signed with Le Mans on the last day of the winter transfer window, and made his league debut on 7 March 2009, in a match against Nancy coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute. The match ended in a 2–2 draw. Goulon went on to make eleven appearances for Le Mans.
Despite interests from Süper Lig side Beşiktaş Herold remained at the club and provided an assist for Thorstein Helstad, in a 2–1 win over Nancy on 22 August 2009. However, Goulon’s second season at Le Mans was marred by injuries and suspension.
At the end of the season, Goulon left Le Mans upon the expiry of his contract after refusing to extend his contract with the club. He attracted interest from Lille,Bordeaux,Grenoble,Napoli and Real Zaragoza.
