Marcel Gomis

Born in Dakar, Gomis arrived in Portugal at the age of 19 as he signed for F.C. Famalicão in the third division. In the following transfer window he moved to S.C. Olhanense, proceeding to appear regularly over the course of one-and-a-half second level seasons, but mostly as a substitute. In 2008, Gomis joined FC Shinnik Yaroslavl in Russia, appearing rarely during his spell and also suffering relegation from the Premier League. He subsequently returned to the Algarve with Olhanense but, in January 2010, after only 76 minutes of official play in the first half of his first season – against F.C. Paços de Ferreira in the Portuguese League Cup– he was loaned to F.C. Vizela from division three for one-and-a-half seasons. In summer 2011, Gomis was released by Olhanense and returned to Famalicão, still in the third tier. He continued to compete mainly in that level in the following years.
