Club career

Torino

He is a product of Torino youth teams, just as his older brothers Lys Gomis and Alfred Gomis are, they are also both goalkeepers.[1] He was included on their Under-19 squad for the first time at the age of 16 in the 2014–15 season.[2] He did not make any appearances for that squad that season, serving as back-up for Andrea Zaccagno and Nicholas Lentini. In the next 2015–16 season he was sent on loans to Serie D teams, first Delta Rovigo[1] and then Mestre.[3]

On 19 July 2016, he joined his hometown team Cuneo on a permanent basis, also in the Serie D.[4] He became the first-choice goalkeeper for the club in the subsequent 2016–17 season.[5]

On 29 August 2017, he moved to yet another Serie D club, this time Nocerina.[6] At Nocerina, Gomis also was the first-choice goalkeeper.[5]

SPAL

On 6 July 2018, he signed a three-year contract with Serie A club SPAL, where he became the back-up to his own brother Alfred.[7]

Loan to Siracusa

On 26 July 2018, he joined Serie C club Siracusa on a season-long loan.[8] On 9 September 2018, he suffered minor injuries in a car accident which also killed the driver of the car, 27-year-old Siracusa club employee Davide Artale.[9]

Upon his recovery, he made his Serie C debut for Siracusa on 15 October 2018 in a game against Reggina.[10]

Loan to Kukësi

On 31 January 2019, he moved to Albania on a new loan to Kukësi.[11]

International career

Gomis was called up by Guinea-Bissau in late May 2021.[12] He debuted with them in a 0–0 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tie with Sudan on 11 January 2022.[13]

Personal life

Gomis' older brothers, Lys and Alfred, have represented Senegal internationally. He is of Senegalese and Bissau-Guinean descent.[14]
