Club career
editBorn in Valencia, Pomares left Alboraya UD in June 2009 after agreeing to a three-year deal with Sheffield United.[2] After failing to make the breakthrough to the first team, he returned to his home country on 16 August 2012 after signing for Segunda División B side Huracán Valencia CF.[3]
Pomares only made his senior debut on 4 January 2013, coming on as a late substitute for José Luis Capdevila in a 2–1 home win against CF Badalona.[4] He scored his first goal on 1 June, netting the second in a 3–0 home win against Lucena CF which ensured his team's qualification to the following round of the play-offs.[5]
On 5 June 2014 Pomares moved to Levante UD, being assigned to the reserves in Tercera División.[6] On 17 July of the following year he joined third-tier club Barakaldo CF,[7] and was an ever-present figure during the season.
On 16 July 2016, Pomares signed with fellow third-division side Lorca FC.[8] An undisputed starter, he contributed with 36 appearances (play-offs included) and one goal as his side achieved promotion to Segunda División for the first time ever.
Pomares made his professional debut on 18 August 2017, starting in a 2–0 home win against Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.[9] He scored his first goal the following 19 May, netting his team's only in a 1–5 home loss against Real Valladolid.
On 7 August 2018, after Lorca's relegation, Pomares signed a two-year deal with Extremadura UD still in the second division.[10] Roughly one year later, he terminated his contract with the club,[11] and subsequently signed a one-year deal with fellow league team AD Alcorcón.[12]
On 16 August 2020, Pomares signed a two-year contract with CD Tenerife.[13] On 7 July 2022, he moved to fellow second division side Real Oviedo also on a two-year deal.[14]
