Football career

Born in Paris, Gomis started his professional career with En Avant de Guingamp, but only played officially with the reserves.[1] In summer 2009 he signed a two-year contract at Portuguese club Associação Naval 1º de Maio, being joined by countryman manager Victor Zvunka the following year.[2][3]

Gomis appeared in his first Primeira Liga match on 29 August 2009, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–3 home loss against FC Porto.[4] He finished his first season with 23 games (all starts), as the Figueira da Foz side ranked in a best-ever eighth position.

In late 2011, after his link to Naval expired, Gomis returned to his country and signed for three years with OGC Nice.[5] He made his Ligue 1 debut on 6 August, coming on as a second half substitute in a 1–3 home defeat against Olympique Lyonnais.[6]

Gomis joined Nottingham Forest in January 2014, on loan for the remainder of the campaign.[7] He made his only appearance for the English on 8 March, starting and being booked in a 0–1 loss at Barnsley for the Football League Championship,[8] being subsequently left out of the selection reckoning reportedly due to caretaker manager Gary Brazil's opinion that his attitude was unconstructive.[9]

On 19 August 2016, Gomis signed for Scottish Premiership club Dundee on a one-year contract.[10]

On 19 November 2018, he signed for Grand Quevilly FC, in 6th level in france.[11] He would retire in 2020.
