Club career

Born in Valdeganga, Albacete, Romero made his professional debut with hometown's Albacete Balompié in the 2008–09 season – aged only 18 – only missing six Segunda División games out of 42, starting 26 and totalling almost 2,400 minutes as the Castile-La Mancha team retained their league status. His maiden appearance in the competition occurred on 31 August 2008 as a 75th minute substitute in a 2–1 home win against Sevilla Atlético, and he scored his first goal on 15 November, contributing to a 2–2 draw against UD Salamanca also at the Estadio Carlos Belmonte.
In summer 2009, Romero signed for Udinese Calcio in Italy. He made four league appearances in his first year in Serie A, and mainly played with the under-20 side in the Campionato Nazionale Primavera.
In late June 2010, Udinese agreed a double loan deal with A.S. Bari, subject to Romero and Andrea Coda's decision. After appearing for the former during pre-season, the former eventually moved to the Apulia club on 2 August.
After appearing in less than one fourth of the league matches, and also suffering top division relegation, Romero was loaned again, returning to his country and joining Granada CF. He made his La Liga debut on 27 August 2011, starting and being replaced in the second half of a 0–1 home loss against Real Betis.
After his loan with Granada expired, Romero represented Orduspor, Real Madrid Castilla and Real Zaragoza, all in temporary deals. On 4 July 2016, the free agent signed a two-year deal with CA Osasuna of the top level.
On 19 June 2017, after suffering relegation, Romero cut ties with Osasuna. On 8 July, however, the club announced that they received 500,000 in a transfer to Córdoba CF.
On 17 January 2018, Romero was loaned to fellow second tier team CD Lugo for six months. On 12 June of the following year, after another relegation, he left Andalusia.
On 23 June 2019, Romero signed a contract with Qarabağ FK.
