[edit] Career

Gomis was at Montpellier and Chelsea in his youth but has played most of his career in the English lower leagues. In 2004, Gomis signed for Windsor & Eton and featured in 18 league matches, scoring once. In January 2005, Gomis moved to Dagenham & Redbridge[1] but the move quickly became controversial after an agent became involved in a contract row with the club. Gomis left in March without making an appearance and rejoined Windsor,[2] playing in five matches before the end of the season. Gomis had a short stay with Barnet at the start of the 2005-06 season - where he featured once as an unused substitute - but moved to Lewes after his month-to-month contract wasn't renewed. Gomis played in fourteen league matches and scored once during his stay with the Rooks.

In July 2006, Gomis moved to Scotland and joined Cowdenbeath.[3] On 8 December, just four months after his Cowdenbeath debut, Gomis agreed a move to Premier League side Dundee United and joined in January 2007, signing until the end of the following season. Such was Gomis's earlier-than-expected impact - Levein had said upon signing him that he would "not go straight into the first team"[4] - he was given a two-year extension to his contract in September 2007. Gomis said he was "very happy" and "delighted".[5]
