Career

Coughlin began his career at Shiney Row St Oswald's, before moving on to Durham City.[2] In 1957, Coughlin signed for Football League club Barnsley. Over the course of three years, Coughlin failed to make an appearance for Barnsley and moved to Yeovil Town. In March 1963, Coughlin moved back to the Football League, signing for Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic. Coughlin made 88 appearances for the club, scoring 40 times. In August 1966, Coughlin signed for Swansea Town, in a deal that saw Ken Pound go the other way to Bournemouth. In March 1968, after ten goals in 40 league games for Swansea, Coughlin signed for Exeter City on loan. Coughlin scored two goals in 13 appearances for Exeter, returning to Non-League football with Chelmsford City ahead of the 1968–69 season.
