Club career

In his first professional seasons, Madrid-born Gómez was first choice for hometown club Rayo Vallecano, which dropped from La Liga to the third division in just two years.[1][2] He resumed his career in the second level, but could only play second-fiddle with both Elche CF[3] and Córdoba CF.[4]

In the summer of 2009, Gómez returned to division three by signing with another side from the Spanish capital, AD Alcorcón,[2] and appeared sparingly as they promoted to the second tier for the first time ever, being subsequently released. Until the end of his career, he competed exclusively in lower league or amateur football.[5]
