Pedro Injai Gomes (born 4 June 2003) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Azerbaijan Premier League club Kapaz PFK.

Career

Born in Seixal and of Bissau-Guinean descent,[1] Gomes played as a youth for Amora FC, Sporting CP and Boavista FC. In May 2022, having won the national second division with the under-19 team, he signed his first professional contract of three years; he had previously won a national title with Sporting in 2017–18.[2]

At the start of February 2023, Gomes was loaned to Atlético Clube de Portugal in the Campeonato de Portugal.[3] Seven months later, he was lent to F.C. Barreirense for the entire season.[4]

Gomes made his professional debut on 10 August 2024 as the Primeira Liga season began with a 1–0 win away to Casa Pia AC.[1] In 2024–25, he played 21 games as they were relegated from the Primeira Liga, and one more in the Taça de Portugal; his opportunities were limited following a number of signings in February.[4] On 20 January, in the reverse fixture against Casa Pia, he received a red card for a challenge on Leonardo Lelo only three minutes after coming on as a substitute.[5]

On 5 July 2025, with his Boavista contract having expired, Gomes signed a two-year contract at Kapaz PFK in the Azerbaijan Premier League.[6]
