Rodrigo Martins Gomes (born 7 July 2003) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a winger or wing-back for Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Born in Póvoa de Varzim and a product of Braga's youth system, Gomes made his debut in the Primeira Liga on 3 October 2020 in a 4–0 win at Tondela, as a substitute playing the final two minutes in place of Fransérgio. [1] On 14 December, he made his first start in a 7–0 Taça de Portugal fourth round win at third-tier Olímpico do Montijo, being taken off for Iuri Medeiros after 69 minutes. [2]
On 19 July 2021, Gomes signed a new contract until 2026, increasing his buyout clause from €15 million to €35 million. [3] After a season in the reserves in Liga 3, he scored his first top-flight goal on 21 August 2022, coming on as a late replacement to conclude a 5–0 win over Marítimo at the Estádio Municipal de Braga. [4]
On 4 August 2023, Braga announced that Gomes would be sent on a season-long loan to Primeira Liga side Estoril Praia, with no future option to make the deal permanent. [5] Four days later, Estoril officially announced the loan signing. [6] At Estoril, Gomes began playing as a wing-back, mainly on the right side of the pitch. [7]
On 12 June 2024, Braga's president, António Salvador, publicly confirmed that the club had reached an agreement for the permanent transfer of Gomes to Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers. [8] He later signed a contract until 2029 in a deal worth £12.7m. [9]
