Borja Gómez
Spanish footballer
Borja Gómez Pérez (born 14 May 1988) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a central defender.
Club career
Gómez was born in Madrid. An unsuccessful graduate from Real Madrid's youth system, he made his professional debut with another team in the community, AD Alcorcón, going on to spend three full seasons in the Segunda División B; he started and finished both legs of the 4–1 aggregate win over Real Madrid in the round of 32 of the 2009–10 Copa del Rey, scoring in a 3–2 home loss to Racing de Santander in the next stage.
In the 2010–11 campaign, Gómez had his first Segunda División experience, with another club from the Spanish capital, Rayo Vallecano. On 2 March 2011, after having played all the minutes in his 11 league appearances – mainly due to Iván Amaya's injury, however, as he was never part of manager José Ramón Sandoval's plans (a claim which the latter denied)– he signed a three-year contract with Ukrainian Premier League side FC Karpaty Lviv.
Gómez returned to his homeland the ensuing winter transfer window, joining Granada CF initially on loan. His first game in La Liga took place on 21 January 2012, when he featured the full 90 minutes in a 3–0 away loss against RCD Espanyol; during his two-year spell at the Nuevo Estadio de Los Cármenes, he made 31 competitive appearances.
In the following years, Gómez alternated between the second and third tiers of Spanish football, representing Hércules CF, CD Lugo, Real Oviedo, Real Murcia CF and UD Logroñés. While at the service of the third club, he suffered a right knee injury in January 2016 that sidelined him for seven months.
On 23 August 2018, Gómez signed with East Bengal FC of the Indian I-League.

Why this record matters
“Borja Gómez” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Borja, Gómez and Spanish provides the most credible route into that argument.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2525565. The first chronological checks are 1988, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
