Looks like his football career is over.
He could though identify as a woman in the census and all doors would be open to him.

Re: This Goodwillie Saga
As a club, bearing in mind Goodwillie’s, record for, euphemistically, “being able to look after himself”. Bearing in mind his background from the Raploch council estate and that of another highly talented player from the same estate some 20 years earlier, should we have done more?
Patently he was an angry young man. Peter Houston’s idea of phoning him at all times of the day to check in and sending Heggie round all seem to be about managing his behaviour rather than dealing with the root cause.
Maybe Goodiewillie really doesn’t think he has done anything wrong, but, in the civil case there was corroborated evidence that Denise Clair was incapable of giving consent. Looking at the case, he wasn’t even reckless as to whether she could consent, rather, he knew she couldn’t

Re: This Goodwillie Saga
What annoyed me most about this sorry affair is that it was a politically motivated witch hunt. Five years he's been at Clyde. Then he moves to a club of an SNP donor and pal of the FM and then she conveniently pipes up.
He tries to go back to Clyde and the women's team all of a sudden decide that they don't to play despite there being no objections a few weeks prior.
The council were the most laughable, they could have banned him as soon as they took over the stadium if they wanted and were quite happy to be shirt sponsor while he played for them.
He probably should have retired 5 years ago when the civil case verdict was given. But the way it's all happened hasn't sat well with me
