Juliou Scott Golbourne (born 29 February 1988) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Bristol City.
Born in Bristol, Golbourne joined his Bristol City's youth system in 2002, at age 15, after winning a scholarship to the club's academy. He began his career within the youth system as a left-sided midfielder. After four years in the youth system, Golbourne made his first-team debut for Bristol City in a 2–0 victory over Colchester United, coming on for Luke Wilkshire in the 72nd minute. On 23 August 2005, he made his League Cup debut in a 4–2 loss to Barnet in the first round. However, after two seasons with the club, Golbourne left his hometown club for Reading in January 2006 for an undisclosed fee.
Less than 24 hours after a transfer to Reading, Golbourne made his reserves debut for the Royals in a 6–0 rout of Millwall's reserves. Golbourne was awarded the League One Apprentice of the Year Award in March 2006 for his actions on the pitch, as well as his educational achievements. On 17 April, after several months in reserves, he made his Reading first-team debut—a 3–1 win over Stoke City.
After only two appearances in two seasons, Golbourne was made available for a loan by Reading boss Steve Coppell. On 16 August 2006, he was loaned to League Two club Wycombe Wanderers for one month. He was immediately made available for the first-team squad, making his debut on 19 August in a 3–0 victory over Bury. Just days before his initial return to Reading, Golbourne extended his stay at Adams Park with a two-month loan extension, after making four appearances for the Blues in his original loan deal. On 25 August 2006, despite a 3–1 loss to Lincoln City, Golbourne was named Man of the Match by the game's sponsor for his efforts in defence and midfield. His first ever league goal came on 18 November 2006, in a 1–1 draw with Grimsby Town. However, the goal came in Golbourne's final match on his loan to Wycombe, as he returned to Reading just days later. Within several days of his return to Reading, he was immediately loaned back to Wycombe on a loan deal which lasted until the end of the 2006–07 season, immediately making his way back into the starting line-up in a 1–0 win over Chester City.
