Club career

Gomes was born in Oeiras, Lisbon District. A product of S.L. Benfica's youth ranks, he spent his first two professional seasons on loan, only appearing for his parent club during pre-season: 2006–07 at C.F. Estrela da Amadora – in the Primeira Liga – where he played with namesake Tiago Filipe Figueiras Gomes, and the following at Poland's Zagłębie Lubin.[1]

In August 2008, Gomes signed for CA Osasuna on a free transfer,[2] making no competitive appearances for the Navarrese during his first and only season. In the same period in the following year he joined another Lisbon-based team, C.F. Os Belenenses, where he also did not manage to be first-choice and they suffered relegation at the end of the campaign.

International career

On 7 November 2014, Gomes was called up by new Portugal manager Fernando Santos for a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against Armenia and a friendly with Argentina.[3] He made his debut in the latter, starting but leaving injured after 51 minutes in an eventual 1–0 win at Old Trafford.[4]
