Club career
Born in Porto Alegre, Gomes is a product of São José youth system, from where he moved to the larger Grêmio in 1991. At the Tricolour side, he was part of squad that finished runner-up in the 1993 Copa do Brasil, and won it in the following year, while also bagging a regional title.
In 1995, he joined Botafogo, helping the team win their second league title in their history, under Paulo Autuori leadership. In the summer of 1996, Gomes reunited with Autuori at Benfica, but rarely played as Amaral was regular starter.
He was subsequently loaned out to Flamengo, staying for two years, and losing another Copa do Brasil final. The 28-year-old then signed with Alverca, which had just recently been promoted to the top tier, playing alongside Kulkov in the last of his two seasons spent there.
After leaving Portugal, he had short stints in various clubs, the larger being Vasco da Gama and Portuguesa, retiring at age 33 in 2005.
