Career

[edit]

Youth

[edit]

During his youth career, he started with UNC Wilmington Seahawks soccer team.[2] He left the Seahawks on loan and went to the Florida Elite Soccer Academy until returning to the Seahawks in 2020.[3] After staying at the Seahawks for another year, the Mercyhurst Lakers acquired Gomes on a free transfer.[4] During his time with Mercyhurst, he was named to the Scholar All-American team after a very successful season in 2022.[5][6] Gomes had a standout game against Gannon, making multiple saves in the impressive 4–0 win.[7] He was loaned to the Erie Commodores for the season, and shortly after returning to the Mercyhurst Lakers, he signed with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds.[8][9]

Pittsburgh Riverhounds

[edit]

Gomes signed with the Riverhounds in 2023 on a 1-year deal with an option to extend the contract until 2024, despite being the third choice keeper behind Jahmali Waite and Christian Garner.[10] Following the 2023 season, Gomes' option for 2024 was not picked up, and he became a free agent.[11]
