On March 5, 2020, Louisville City FC announced that it had signed Gómez to a professional contract. Gómez proceeded to appear 36 times in the USL Championship and score two goals in his bid to set a precedent within the club as a youth development player. At the end of the 2021 USL Championship season, Gómez was named the 2021 USL Championship Young Player of the Year and also named to the USL Championship's All-League First Team.
Real Sociedad
On September 30, 2021, Real Sociedad announced an agreement with Louisville City for the transfer of Gómez, with the player signing a contract until 2025 and being initially assigned to Real Sociedad B in Segunda División. The deal took effect January 1, 2022. On March 2, 2022, Gómez was included in Real Sociedad's La Liga matchday squad for the first time against RCD Mallorca. On August 11, 2023, he joined Segunda División side Mirandés on a season-long loan deal.
PAOK

Gómez was a non-roster trainee with Mexico during their loss to the United States in the 2021 CONCACAF Nations League Finals. Gómez was subsequently named to the United States provisional squad for the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup although he did not make the final roster as the United States won the Final over Mexico. In October 2021, Gómez played in a pair of friendlies for Mexico U20s in Europe. On December 3, 2021, Gómez was called up to the United States national team for a friendly match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. On December 18, Gómez made his senior international debut as an 84th-minute substitute and his shot on goal was rebounded in by Cole Bassett for the United States' 1–0 victory. On April 21, 2022, Gómez was called up to the Mexico national team for a friendly match against Guatemala on April 27, in which he was subbed on in the 82nd minute. He thus became the fourth player to be capped by both the United States and Mexico senior national teams. Because both matches were friendlies, Gómez was not cap-tied to either nation.
