Hugo Gomes returned to the second tier on loan for 2019–20, at Varzim SC.[9] He played 22 total games while in Póvoa de Varzim, and scored once to equalise in a 2–1 loss away to eventual double winners FC Porto in the quarter-finals of the Taça de Portugal on 14 January.[10]

On 13 July 2021, he moved to Rio Ave on a two-year contract.[11] On 3 August 2022, Gomes joined Moreirense on a season-long loan.[12]
