Ryan Mccord

Career

Gomis was at Montpellier HSC and Chelsea F.C. in his youth but has played most of his career in the England lower leagues. In 2004, Gomis signed for Windsor & Eton F.C. and featured in 18 league matches, scoring once. In January 2005, Gomis moved to Dagenham & Redbridge F.C. but the move quickly became controversial after an agent became involved in a contract row with the club. Gomis left in March 2005 without making an appearance and rejoined Windsor, playing in five matches before the end of the season. Gomis had a short stay with Barnet F.C. at the start of the 2005-06 in English football - where he featured once as an unused substitute - but moved to Lewes F.C. after his month-to-month contract wasn't renewed. Gomis played in fourteen league matches and scored once during his stay with the Rooks.

In July 2006, Gomis moved to Scotland and joined Cowdenbeath F.C.. On 8 December, just four months after his Cowdenbeath debut, Gomis agreed a move to Scottish Premier League side Dundee United and joined in January 2007, signing until the end of the following season. Such was Gomis's earlier-than-expected impact – Levein had said upon signing him that he would "not go straight into the first team" – he was given a two-year extension to his contract in September 2007. Gomis said he was "very happy" and "delighted". Nicknamed 'Jimmy' by Dundee United fans, Gomis was named as the club's young player of the year for 2007-08.
