Club career

[edit]

Born in Sagunto, Valencian Community, Gámez was a CD Acero youth graduate. He made his first team debut in the 2010–11 season, in the regional leagues.

On 16 June 2013, Gámez signed for Tercera División side Atlético Saguntino.[1] An undisputed starter, he scored a career-best 11 goals during the 2015–16 season, achieving promotion to Segunda División B; he also acted as team captain during the most of his spell.

On 30 January 2018, Gámez signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with RCD Mallorca also in the third division,[2] after the club activated his 30,000 buyout clause.[3] He contributed with one goal in seven appearances, as his side achieved promotion to Segunda División after a one-year absence.

Gámez made his professional debut on 19 August 2018, starting in a 1–0 home win against CA Osasuna.[4] He scored his first professional goal on 29 September, in a 1–1 away draw against CD Lugo, and finished the campaign as a starter as the club reached another promotion.

Gámez made his La Liga debut on 29 September 2019, starting in a 0–2 away loss against Deportivo Alavés. He lost his starting spot to Lumor Agbenyenu during the season as his side suffered relegation, and was also a backup option to Brian Oliván in 2020–21, as the club returned to the top tier.

On 15 July 2021, Gámez signed a two-year contract with Real Zaragoza in the second division.[5] On 27 June 2024, he moved to CD Eldense in the same category on a two-year deal.[6]
