Club career

Braga

Born in Póvoa de Varzim and a product of Braga's youth system, Gomes made his debut in the Primeira Liga on 3 October 2020 in a 4–0 win at Tondela, as a substitute playing the final two minutes in place of Fransérgio. On 14 December, he made his first start in a 7–0 Taça de Portugal fourth round win at third-tier Olímpico do Montijo, being taken off for Iuri Medeiros after 69 minutes.
On 19 July 2021, Gomes signed a new contract until 2026, increasing his buyout clause from €15 million to €35 million. After a season in the reserves in Liga 3, he scored his first top-flight goal on 21 August 2022, coming on as a late replacement to conclude a 5–0 win over Marítimo at the Estádio Municipal de Braga.

Loan to Estoril

On 4 August 2023, Braga announced that Gomes would be sent on a season-long loan to Primeira Liga side Estoril Praia, with no future option to make the deal permanent. Four days later, Estoril officially announced the loan signing. At Estoril, Gomes began playing as a wing-back, mainly on the right side of the pitch.

On 12 June 2024, Braga's president, António Salvador, publicly confirmed that the club had reached an agreement for the permanent transfer of Gomes to Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers. He later signed a contract until 2029 in a deal worth £12.7m.
