Gouldstone made his debut in county cricket for Hertfordshire in the 1984 Minor Counties Championship against Suffolk, having previously played for the Essex Second XI.[1] He made a further appearance for his native county in that year's competition, against Norfolk.[2] Having joined Northamptonshire in 1984 and spending a couple of seasons in their Second XI, he went on to make his first-class debut for the county against the touring New Zealanders in 1986. He made 7 further first-class appearances for Northamptonshire in 1988, the last of which came against Derbyshire in the 1988 County Championship.[3] In his 8 first-class appearances for the county, he scored 274 runs at a batting average of 22.83, with a high score of 77.[4] This score, one of 2 first-class fifties he made, came against Essex in 1988.[5] It was in 1986 that he made his List A debut for Northamptonshire against Leicestershire in the John Player Special League. He made 6 further List A appearances for Northamptonshire, the last of which came against Derbyshire in the 1988 Refuge Assurance League.[6] In his 7 List A matches for the county, he scored 38 runs at an average of 6.33, with a high score of 11.[7]
With opportunities limited at Northamptonshire, he appeared in an MCCA Knockout Trophy fixture for Hertfordshire against Oxfordshire in 1988,[8] before joining Bedfordshire the following season, who he played Minor counties cricket for on a handful of occasions from 1989 to 1992.[2][8] He appeared once in List A cricket for Bedfordshire, against Worcestershire in the 1991 NatWest Trophy,[6] a match in which he was dismissed for 2 by Neal Radford.[9] He rejoined his native county of Hertfordshire in 1993, making 18 further Minor Counties Championship appearances[2] and 5 further MCCA Knockout Trophy appearances, spread over the 1993 and 1994 seasons.[8] He also appeared once in List A cricket for Hertfordshire, which came in the 1993 NatWest Trophy against Gloucestershire.[6] He scored 68 not out in this game, but could not prevent Gloucestershire winning by 110 runs.[10]

He played Minor counties cricket for Lincolnshire from 1995 to 1998, making 17 Minor Counties Championship appearances[2] and 8 MCCA Knockout Trophy appearances.[8] He made his final 2 List A appearances for Lincolnshire.[6] The first of these came against Gloucestershire in the 1996 NatWest Trophy, with him scoring 12 runs in this match, before being dismissed by Courtney Walsh.[11] The second of these came in the 1997 NatWest Trophy against Derbyshire.
