Tiago Henrique Damil Gomes (born 29 July 1986) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for S.C. Braga as a left back.

Club career

Gomes was born in Oeiras, Lisbon District. A product of S.L. Benfica's youth ranks he spent his first two professional seasons on loan, only appearing for the Reds during pre-season: 2006–07 at C.F. Estrela da Amadora – in the top division – where he played with namesake Tiago Filipe Figueiras Gomes, and the following at Poland's Zagłębie Lubin.[1]

In August 2008 Gomes signed for CA Osasuna on a free transfer,[2] making no competitive appearances for the Navarrese during his first and only season. In the same period in the following year he joined another Lisbon club, C.F. Os Belenenses, where he also did not manage to be first-choice, and his team suffered relegation at the end of the campaign.

International career

On 7 November 2014, Gomes was called up by new Portugal manager Fernando Santos for a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against Armenia and a friendly with Argentina.[3] He made his debut in the latter, starting but leaving injured after 51 minutes in an eventual 1–0 win at Old Trafford.[4]
