Club
Gomes started playing at the local team S.C. Freamunde in Paços de Ferreira in 2012. Four years later, she moved to Campeonato Nacional de Futebol Feminino's team, Valadares Gaia F.C.[2] In 2017, Gomes signed with S.C. Braga.
International
Starting in 2013, Gomes represented Portugal at several youth levels.[3] With the Portugal U17 team, she played the 2014 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship, the first time the team qualified for a UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship. Gomes also played three 2017 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualifying tournaments for Portugal U19.
On 3 March 2017 Gomes debuted for Portugal senior team in a 6–0 loss for Denmark.[4] On 19 June 2017 she was included by coach Francisco Neto in the 25-women preliminary squad intended to represent Portugal at the UEFA Women's Euro 2017, the first time the Portuguese national team qualified for a women's football major tournament.[5] On 6 July 2017 Neto released the 23-women final roster, cutting Gomes and Cristiana Garcia from the team.[6][7] However, in the last training session before the departure for the tournament, Jéssica Silva picked up an injury, and on 14 July Gomes was called up by Neto as her replacement.[8][9] Gomes didn't play any match in the competition and Portugal was eliminated in the tournament first stage.
