Club Career
Romeo started his professional career in 1995, with Estudiantes de La Plata, playing exactly 40 first division matches. He blossomed as a top-rate player with Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro, scoring 15 goals in only 17 matches in 2001's Clausura, in an eventual league conquest.
Romeo's performances caught the eye of Germany's Hamburger SV, and he continued to net at ease abroad, in two complete season plus two halves, but came out empty in silverware (a league cup notwithstanding). In January 2005, he was loaned to RCD Mallorca for six months, after which he was released.
Having signed with another side in Spain and La Liga, CA Osasuna, in July 2005, Romeo scored four times in 24 matches as the Navarrese finished fourth, a best ever (tied). In the following season, he was only a backup or third-string, ending up playing in as much games in the league and in the UEFA Cup, netting against Odense Boldklub in a 3–1 home win with his team eventually reaching the last-four in the latter competition.
In the 2007 summer, Romeo returned to Argentina and San Lorenzo, going on to eventually score more than 100 official goals (both spells combined) for the club. In July 2010, he was released, signed with freshly promoted Quilmes Atlético Club.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or career:
“The barriers of conventionality have been raised so high, and so strangely cemented by long existence, that the only hope of overthrowing them exists in the union of numbers linked together by common opinion and effort ... the united watchword of thousands would strike at the foundation of the false system and annihilate it.”
—Mme. Ellen Louise Demorest 1824–1898, U.S. women’s magazine editor and woman’s club movement pioneer. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 203 (January 1870)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
