Club career
editDanubio FC
editGoicochea was born in Montevideo. In 2006, he signed his first professional contract with Danubio. Thanks to his good performances, he became the goalkeeper holder and his number was changed to 1. He played a total of 79 games with the club.
Roma
editIn August 2012, Goicoechea moved to A.S. Roma on a loan until the end of the season.[2] He made his debut in a 3–2 loss against Parma in the second half, coming on as a substitute for the injured Maarten Stekelenburg. Goicoechea followed this up with an impressive display in a 4–1 victory over Palermo. He then started the following six games, against Lazio, Torino, Pescara and Siena, but following a string of unimpressive results and Zdeněk Zeman's sacking, which included an own goal in Zeman's last day in charge against Cagliari, where he dropped an easy catch inside the net, Stekelenburg was reinstated as the primary goalkeeper.
Oțelul Galați
editIn January 2014, Goicoechea signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Romanian club Oțelul Galați.[3]
Arouca
