Sean Goldberg

Sean Goldberg is an Israeli centre-back born in Tel Aviv on 13 June 1995. He developed at Maccabi Tel Aviv, spending 15 years in the club’s academy before beginning a loan cycle that included Hapoel Tel Aviv, Bnei Yehuda and Beitar Jerusalem between 2014 and 2018. At Bnei Yehuda, Goldberg won the State Cup in 2017. After a season with Hapoel Haifa, he joined Hapoel Beer Sheva in 2019, where his build-up contribution included assists in Europa League qualifying. Goldberg moved to Maccabi Haifa in 2021 and established himself centrally after earlier experience at left-back. His game is built on positioning, anticipation, recovery work and measured distribution, while his 1.79-metre frame supports mobility across the defensive line. He made his senior Israel debut against Germany in 2022 and captained Israel at the 2024 Paris Olympics as an overage player.
