Gómez began his career with local giants Valencia, playing for their B team, Valencia Mestalla, during the 1994–95 Segunda División B season. He was part of the first team squad that finished as La Liga runners-up the following year, but didn't play any matches. He left to join Racing de Ferrol ahead of the 1996–97 season, but stayed only six months before joining top flight side SD Compostela in the January transfer window. He spent a little over five years with Compostela, enduring relegation to the Segunda División in 1997–98, and again to the third tier in 2000–01.
