Mendes Gomes moved on his own to Madrid aged 15, where he began playing for Getafe.[5] A season later he signed for Atlético Madrid's youth teams.[3][5][7]

His family then moved to England, after his father thought it was better for the children's education,[5] with the family relocating to Salford.[6] Mendes Gomes could not speak any English and did not play football for a year.[5] He then began playing for West Didsbury & Chorlton, scoring seven league goals in 50 games in all competitions during his two-season spell.[8]

Mendes Gomes scored his first goal for Morecambe in a 2–1 defeat at home to Oldham Athletic on 26 December 2019.[12][13] He was offered a new contract at the end of the 2019–20 season.[14]

In April 2021 he was linked with a transfer away from the club following a series of strong performances, which attracted praise from Morecambe manager Derek Adams.[15] In May 2021 he was voted the Supporters' Player Of The Season.[16] On 31 May 2021, he scored a 107th minute penalty in the League Two play-off Final, securing a 1–0 win against Newport County and Morecambe's first ever promotion to the third tier of English football.[17] In June 2021 the club activated an extension to his contract.[18] He was the club's top scorer in the 2020–21 season, with 15 goals.[19]
