Paulo Jorge Sousa Gomes (born 4 March 1975 in Viseu) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.

Football career

During his Portuguese career Gomes represented C.D. Tondela, Académico de Viseu FC, A.D. Lousada, Vitória de Guimarães, S.C. Braga, U.D. Leiria, F.C. Paços de Ferreira and F.C. Penafiel.

He made his top division debut for Guimarães, against S.C. Salgueiros in a 2–3 away loss on 12 September 1998 – coach Zoran Filipović handed him his first chance. Almost ten years later he contributed with two league games as Paços achieved an historical qualification to the UEFA Cup, but finished the season at Penafiel in the second level.

In 2008–09 campaign Gomes moved abroad, signing with Cypriot side Atromitos Yeroskipou and joining, among other compatriots, former Leiria teammate Hugo Costa. After only one season he returned to Portugal and Viseu (with the club now in division three), retiring in June 2010 at the age of 35.
