Gómez began his professional career with Samger of the Gambian Championnat National D1, where he was considered to be one of the top young centre backs in his nation.
His play with the Gambian under-20 national team sparked interest among many Major League Soccer clubs. In early 2009, Gómez signed with Toronto FC[1] along with fellow countrymen Amadou Sanyang. He made his debut for Toronto on 6 June 2009, in a game against Los Angeles Galaxy.[2]
Gomez in his second season with Toronto and first full season failed to make any appearances with the club due to a season long knee injury that he picked up during the preseason training.
Gomez was waived by Toronto FC on March 1, 2011.[3]
Gómez has represented his nation at various youth levels. He has been a regular member of the Gambian U-20 national team. He also was a member of the squad that competed in qualification for the 2009 African Championship. He has been selected to train with the Gambian senior national team, but has yet to make his senior debut.
