Tiago Henrique Damil Gomes (born 29 July 1986) is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a left-back.

Club career

Gomes was born in Oeiras, Lisbon District. A product of S.L. Benfica's academy, he spent his first two professional seasons on loan, 2006–07 at C.F. Estrela da Amadora – in the Primeira Liga – where he played with namesake Tiago Filipe Figueiras Gomes, and the following at Poland's Zagłębie Lubin; he only appeared for his parent club during pre-season.[2][3]

In August 2008, Gomes signed for CA Osasuna on a free transfer,[4] making no competitive appearances for the Navarrese in his only season.[5] One year later, he joined another Lisbon-based team, C.F. Os Belenenses,[6] where he also did not manage to be first choice and they suffered relegation at the end of the campaign.[7]

Gomes agreed to a contract at G.D. Estoril Praia in summer 2011.[8] He won the Liga de Honra in his debut campaign, under manager Marco Silva.[9][3]

On 4 July 2014, Gomes moved to fellow Portuguese top-division club S.C. Braga on a three-year deal.[10] He scored his only goal in a 2–0 away win over Rio Ave F.C. in the group stage of the Taça da Liga, from a free kick,[11] and was subsequently loaned to FC Metz (French Ligue 2)[12] and Apollon Limassol FC (Cypriot First Division).[13]

Until his retirement at the age of 36, Gomes represented top-flight side C.D. Feirense,[14][15] FC Universitatea Cluj of the Romanian Liga II and F.C. Alverca in the Portuguese third division,[16][17] where he fell short in the 2022–23 promotion series.[18]

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.[19] He made his debut in the latter, starting but leaving injured after 51 minutes in an eventual 1–0 win at Old Trafford.[20]
