Career

Gomelt started his youth career at his hometown club HNK Segesta before moving on to NK Zagreb. A youth international, he drew attention from clubs all over Europe, trialing at Inter Milan, Juventus and Genoa, but was unable to transfer due to bureaucratic reasons and regulations. Another trial followed, at Manchester City, with a similar outcome, and Gomelt moved to HAŠK Zagreb.[1] In the end, Gomelt joined the English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur and had a spell on loan with Spanish side RCD Espanyol B in 2013 as he was unable to play competitive games on his arrival, because Croatia were outside the EU at the time.[2] Gomelt spent the 2013–14 season on loan at Belgian Second Division outfit Royal Antwerp.[3]

He joined Italian Serie B side Bari on loan in September 2014[4] and made his professional debut for them in December 2014 playing against Carpi.[5] In July 2015, Gomelt joined Bari on a free transfer after being released by Spurs.[6]

On 14 June 2017, Gomelt signed a three-year contract with HNK Rijeka in Croatia.[7] The following 31 January, he was loaned to Segunda División side Lorca FC until June.[8]

He joined Dinamo București in Romania in the summer of 2018.[9]

On 21 January 2019, he moved to Italy, signing a 2.5-year contract with Crotone.[10]
