Career

Gómez began his career in the ranks of Danubio, which preceded a move to Boston River on 30 September 2013.[1][2] Three months after, Gómez joined Miramar Misiones of the Uruguayan Primera División.[1] He made his professional bow versus El Tanque Sisley on 16 February 2014, in one of seven appearances in 2013–14 as the club suffered relegation.[1] Gómez subsequently scored his first senior goal in the Uruguayan Segunda División, netting a stoppage time winner over Villa Española at Parque Luis Méndez Piana on 29 April 2015.[1] Miramar Misiones finished that campaign in ninth position, with the defender then moving to Cerro Largo.[1]

After appearing in nine fixtures for them across the 2015–16 campaign, Gómez departed midway through the season to rejoin Miramar Misiones.[1] He was notably sent off in his final match for Cerro Largo, as well as on his secondary debut for Miramar Misiones on 2 April 2016 against Rocha.[1] He returned to the starting line-up on 30 April for a match with Atenas, but was again shown a red card; in a fixture that also saw him score an own-goal.[1] In total, Gómez made nine appearances for the club in his second spell; receiving three red cards in the process, having got another on 2 October 2016 versus Tacuarembó.[1] In March 2017, Villa Española signed Gómez.[1]

On 27 February 2018, Gómez switched Uruguay for Ecuador after joining Fuerza Amarilla; having only signed for Central Español weeks prior.[3] Goals followed against Manta and L.D.U. Portoviejo in Serie B as they won promotion to Serie A.[1][4]
