José Gomes (born 8 April 1999), known as Zé Gomes, is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for AF Elbasani. Born in Guinea-Bissau, he represented Portugal at youth level.
Born in Bissau, Gomes, after participating in a 2011 youth tournament in Portugal, returned to the country a year later to join Benfica's youth academy at the age of 13.[1] [2] [3]
Gomes made his professional debut with Benfica B in a 2016–17 LigaPro match against Cova da Piedade on 6 August 2016.[4] 22 days later, he scored his first goal for the reserve team in a 2–1 away win at Vizela.[5] He debuted for the first-team, playing only 128 seconds, in a 2–1 win at Arouca in Primeira Liga on 9 September, becoming Benfica's third youngest player to debut for the main team.[6]
Gomes was loaned to fellow top-flight team Portimonense for 2019–20.[7] Having made only one substitute appearance against Gil Vicente, he headed to Lechia Gdańsk of the Polish Ekstraklasa in February 2020, for the rest of the season.[8] He managed only one goal during his time on the Baltic Sea coast, in a 3–2 loss away to Lech Poznań on 12 July.[9]
On 15 February, Gomes moved to Bulgaria, signing with Cherno More.[10]
On 4 February 2022, Gomes signed with Italian Serie C club Seregno[11]
In January 2023, Gomes joined rivals Universitate Cluj on loan until the end of the season with the option to purchase.[12]
On 22 June 2023, Gomes signed a one-year contract with recently-promoted to Cypriot First Division club Ethnikos Achna.[13]
At the 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, Gomes was crowned both Golden Player and top scorer.[14] [15]
