Vítor Hugo Gomes da Silva (born 25 December 1987 in Vila do Conde), known as Gomes, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Videoton FC in Hungary, as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

A product of hometown Rio Ave FC's youth system, Gomes first appeared with the main side on 19 March 2006, starting in a 0–1 home loss against S.L. Benfica. In late January 2008 he began an unsuccessful loan spell at Serie A's Cagliari Calcio, making no appearances and returning to Rio Ave in July; during that season, he also appeared in 13 games (12 starts) as the Vila do Conde team returned to the first division after an absence of two years.

In the following top flight campaigns Gomes was regularly used by Rio Ave, scoring his first goals in 2009–10, against C.D. Nacional (2–0, home) and S.C. Olhanense (1–5 loss, also at home).

International career

Internationally, Gomes was a member of the Portuguese U-20 squad at the 2007 FIFA World Cup.[1] Later that year, in August, he received his first callup to the under-21s.[2]

Personal

Gomes' older brother, José, is also a footballer. A defender, he represented several clubs, and the pair shared teams in Rio Ave (2005–06, 2009–12).
