Gomez began his career at Charlton Athletic, breaking into the first team at 17 and playing one full senior season before joining Liverpool in June 2015.
After establishing himself as a first-team regular, Gomez struggled with injuries, but appeared in the 2019 UEFA Champions League Final as Liverpool won the competition.
He played in the final of the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup with Liverpool winning the competition for the first time in the club's history.
He was part of the team that won the 2019-20 Premier League, Liverpool's first league title in 30 years.
Gomez has represented England at every level and played every minute of every match when England won the 2014 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.
Gomez was born in Catford, Greater London to a Gambian father and an English mother.
Despite strong interest from other clubs, Gomez signed his first professional contract with Charlton in October 2014.
His senior debut came under manager Bob Peeters in a 4-0 League Cup victory over Colchester United at The Valley on 12 August 2014, playing the full 90 minutes as the right back.
Gomez went on to make 24 appearances during his first season including 18 starts, at right back and in his preferred position of centre back.
On 20 June 2015, Premier League club Liverpool signed Gomez on a five-year contract for a fee of £3.5 million.
On 13 October 2015, Gomez suffered a season ending anterior cruciate ligament injury while playing for England U21.
A full year later, Gomez returned to full first-team training on 13 October 2016.
On 13 November, Gomez played 45 minutes in a behind closed doors friendly.
On 8 January 2017, Gomez made his first start in an official first-team match since the injury, in an FA Cup tie against Plymouth Argyle.
On 23 August 2017, Gomez made his European debut, in a 4-2 win over Hoffenheim in the UEFA Champions League play-off.
Due to the injury of Nathaniel Clyne, Gomez was the first choice right back for the first half of the season; even starting in games against rivals Arsenal and Manchester United; against the former he assisted the first goal in an eventual 4-0 win, and his performance against the latter received praise from fans.
In late March 2018, it was confirmed that Gomez would miss the next few games as a result of suffering an injury during an international friendly game.
In May 2018, Gomez underwent surgery to his ankle injury, with Liverpool confirming via their official website that Gomez wouldn't play in Liverpool's last fixtures of the season, including the 2018 UEFA Champions League final.
Overall, Gomez made 31 appearances across the season for Liverpool.
As a result of the lack of fitness of regular first-team defenders Dejan Lovren and Joël Matip, Gomez was able to establish himself as first-choice centre back in Liverpool's first games of the season alongside Virgil van Dijk, receiving praise for his performances and receiving the man of the match for his performance in a 2-1 win over Leicester City on 1 September.
Regaining fitness in April, Gomez made a substitute appearance for Liverpool in the 2019 UEFA Champions League Final, which the club won.
Gomez began the next season deputising for the in-form Joël Matip, who had become a mainstay alongside Virgil van Dijk during Gomez's injury layoff the previous season.
Gomez found himself recalled to the starting lineup following injury problems for Matip, and earned praise after a slew of clean sheets in the winter months as Liverpool extended a significant lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Gomez was singled out for praise for his leadership and composure during a 1-0 victory over rivals Everton in the FA Cup in January; a match in which Gomez was the only senior player in the back-line after James Milner's early departure.
Gomez provided a brilliant assist for Diogo Jota in their Champions League away game against Atalanta, where Liverpool won 5-0.
Gomez suffered a tendon injury to his left knee whilst away on international duty with England and underwent successful surgery on 11 November 2020 to correct the damage.
This left Liverpool with an injury crisis at the centre of their defence, following the ACL injury of Gomez' centre-back partner Virgil Van Dijk.
FIFA agreed to pay Liverpool £2 million in compensation to cover Gomez's wages whilst he was injured.
Gomez has been capped by England at under-16, under-17 and under-19 levels.
In May 2014, he was part of the squad that won the 2014 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Malta, playing every minute of England's five matches and being named in UEFA's team of the tournament.
Through his father he could have been eligible to play for Gambia.
On 25 August 2015, he received his first call-up to the under-21 squad. On 30 August 2017, Gomez was announced as England U21 captain ahead of the qualifying campaign for the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
Gomez received a man of the match award in the following game for his performance against Brazil, earning praise for a number of crucial interceptions, and for his ability to nullify the threat of the current world record transfer holder, Neymar.
Gomez prefers to play as a centre back but can also play as a full back on either side.
He has been described as a complete footballer and composed ball-playing centre back with his style of play being compared to that of Rio Ferdinand whom he idolised growing up.
Gomez is also noted for his athleticism, pace and strength; he is able to produce powerful and dangerous runs up-field on the counter-attack and in defence is rarely physically dominated by an opponent.
Gomez met his fiancée, Tamara, in 2014, on a bus on his way to school.
They live together in Formby, on the outskirts of Liverpool.
Gomez is a cousin of striker Muhammadu Faal, who currently plays for Enfield Town.
