He achieved Primeira Liga totals of 269 games and 15 goals over 14 seasons, for Rio Ave, Moreirense, Belenenses and Aves. He also played professionally in Hungary, Turkey and Cyprus.

Club career

Born in Vila do Conde and a product of hometown club Rio Ave FC's youth system, Gomes first appeared with the first team on 19 March 2006, starting in a 0–1 home loss against S.L. Benfica.[1] In late January 2008, he began an unsuccessful loan spell at Serie A's Cagliari Calcio,[2] making no appearances and returning to Rio Ave in July. During that season, he also played 13 matches (12 starts) as they returned to the Primeira Liga after an absence of two years.

In the following top-division campaigns, Gomes was regularly used by Rio Ave. He scored his first goals in 2009–10, against C.D. Nacional (2–0, home)[3] and S.C. Olhanense (1–5 defeat, also at the Estádio dos Arcos).[4]

In January 2013, Gomes joined a host of compatriots at Videoton FC, with the Hungarians making the deal permanent in early June.[5] Two years later, he was loaned to Balıkesirspor in the Turkish Süper Lig by Moreirense FC.[6][7]

Gomes continued to compete in the Portuguese top tier in the following years, with C.F. Os Belenenses[8] and C.D. Aves.[9] On 18 April 2018, he scored twice in a 2–1 away victory over Caldas S.C. in the semi-finals of the Taça de Portugal to take the latter club to its first ever final in the competition.[10] He also played the full 90 minutes in the decisive match against Sporting CP, providing an assist to Alexandre Guedes in the 2–1 win in Lisbon.[11]

On 1 October 2018, Gomes scored a hat-trick, his only goals of the season, in a 3–0 home defeat of Portimonense SC.[12] He moved abroad again the following 2 July, on a free transfer to AC Omonia of the Cypriot First Division for two years.[13] During his time in Nicosia, he won a league title in 2020–21.[14]

Gomes returned to Rio Ave on 1 July 2021, signing a two-year deal with the option of a third.[15] The team won promotion as champions in his first season back,[16] and he scored the only goal of a home winner over title rivals Casa Pia A.C. with two games remaining.[17]

International career

Gomes was a member of the Portugal under-20 squad at the 2007 FIFA World Cup.[18][19] Later that year, in August, he received his first callup to the under-21s;[20] he won his only cap for the latter on the 21st, playing the second half of the 3–0 friendly win against Malta held in his hometown.[21]

Personal life

Gomes' older brother, José, was also a footballer. A defender, he represented several clubs, and the pair shared teams in Rio Ave (2005–06, 2009–12).[22]
