Athletes - Herculez Gomez


Herculez Gomez (born April 6, 1982 in Las Vegas, Nevada) is a Mexican-American soccer player for the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer.

He started his professional career in 2000 with Cruz Azul of the Mexican First Division on their second-division squad, and transferred to second-division team Aguilas Blancas de Puebla later that year. The following season, he returned to first-division soccer with Durango. However, playing opportunities were scarce for him there, so he left, thinking he would quit soccer, but instead he joined the San Diego Gauchos of the USL Premier Development League in 2002, where he excelled, scoring 17 goals in 17 appearances. The Galaxy staff noticed him during a friendly match and he joined the team in September.

Unfortunately, he broke his foot while on loan to the Seattle Sounders of the United Soccer Leagues, and recovery took a long time. When he was able to play again, Herculez joined the now-defunct San Diego Sockers of the Major Indoor Soccer League. He returned to the Galaxy for the 2005 season on a developmental contract, but played well enough to make it to the first team. His big chance came when Landon Donovan
was called up to the national team. Since then, he has shown a good scoring touch and has earned a place in the starting lineup, even with Donovan's return, as well as a senior roster spot. He scored the game-winning goal in the 2005 US Open Cup final and then helped the Galaxy to the double when they won the MLS Cup.
