Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Romero was born in Lebrija, Seville, Andalusia, and represented the youth sides of Sevilla FC, CA Antoniano and Cádiz CF's affiliate side Balón de Cádiz CF.[1] He returned to Antoniano in November 2017; initially a member of the Juvenil squad, he made his first team debut on 17 December, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–0 División de Honor Andaluza home win over CD Ciudad Jardín.

Romero became a regular starter for Antoniano during the 2018–19 season,[2] scoring 11 goals as the club achieved promotion to Tercera División.[3]

Sevilla

[edit]

On 8 July 2019, Romero returned to his first club Sevilla for an undisclosed fee,[4] plus two consecutive friendlies in the summers of 2019 and 2020 and a number of variables.[5] He was initially assigned to the C-team also in the fourth division.

Romero made his first appearance with the reserves on 2 February 2020, replacing José Lara but being sent off in a 2–1 Segunda División B away win over Cádiz CF B.[6][7] He was definitely promoted to the B's for the 2020–21 campaign, only missing out a few matches due to a shoulder injury.[8]

On 12 August 2021, Romero signed a professional contract with the Nervionenses until 2025.[9] However, he spent the season as a fourth-choice behind Iván Romero, David Santisteban and Carlos Álvarez as the B-team suffered relegation from Primera División RFEF.

Romero became a regular starter for Sevilla Atlético in the 2022–23 season, being their top scorer with eight goals, and featured with the first team in the 2023 pre-season.[10] On 10 September 2023, after scoring a brace in a 4–1 away routing of Orihuela CF in the previous round, he netted a hat-trick for the B's in a 3–0 home win over FC Cartagena B;[11][12] he later reached 11 goals in only 14 matches during the 2023–24 campaign.[13]

On 11 January 2024, Romero was promoted to the first team of Sevilla, being assigned the number 20 jersey.[14][15] He made his professional – and La Liga – debut the following day, starting in a 3–2 home loss to Deportivo Alavés.[16]

Romero scored his first professional goals on 16 January 2024, netting a brace in a 3–1 Copa del Rey away win over Getafe CF.[17] He scored his first goal in the main category of Spanish football five days later, netting the opener in a 5–1 away loss to Girona FC.[18]
