Career

Dulwich Hamlet

McCoulsky began his career with the Aspire Academy, the youth section of Isthmian Premier Division club Dulwich Hamlet responsible for the development of George Elokobi and Simeon Jackson.[3] He was called up to the club’s first team ahead of the 2014–15 season.[4]

On 13 September 2014, McCoulsky came off the bench to make his debut in a 3–0 defeat to Worthing. His second appearance for the club saw him claim an assist and the Man of the Match award, before scoring his first goal in a 2–0 victory over AFC Hornchurch the following game.[4]

Walton Casuals (loan)

On 7 January 2015, he joined Isthmian Division One South outfit Walton Casuals on a one-month loan.[5] Making six appearances for the Stags, he scored in his final game to complete a 3–1 victory over Whitstable Town.[6]

Bristol City

At the end of the season, McCoulsky was invited to train with recently relegated Millwall, and also attracted interest from Premier League duo West Ham United and Southampton.[7]

In October 2015, he went on trial with Bristol City and scored for the Under-21s. On 2 November, McCoulsky signed a professional contract with the League One club and spent the season playing for the Under-23s.[8]

Newport County (loan)

On 28 July 2017, McCoulsky joined League Two side Newport County on a six-month loan.[16] He made his debut for Newport on the opening day of the 2017–18 season, scoring an injury-time equaliser during a 3–3 draw with Stevenage.[17] On 7 January 2018, he scored the winning goal in a 2–1 win over Leeds United in the third round of the FA Cup with an 89th minute header.[18]
