Club career
editBorn in Arenys de Munt, Barcelona, Catalonia, Gori joined RCD Espanyol's youth setup in 2015, after representing CF Damm and FPEF Calella.[1] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 23 October 2020, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–2 Segunda División B away draw against FC Andorra.[2]
Gori scored his first senior goal on 21 February 2021, netting the equalizer for the B's in a 1–1 home draw against UE Llagostera.[3] On 5 August 2021, he renewed his contract with the Pericos.[4]
Gori made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 14 August 2021, replacing fellow youth graduate David López in a 0–0 away draw against CA Osasuna.[5] He suffered a serious knee injury in October,[6] being sidelined for the remainder of the season.
After starting the 2022 pre-season with the main squad, Gori suffered a setback from his injury,[7] only returning to action one year later.[8] He departed the Pericos on 24 May 2024, as his contract was due to expire.[9]
On 10 July 2024, Gori signed a three-year contract with Segunda División side Real Zaragoza.[10]
