Club career
Torres started his career at Chepo and played alongside compatriot Anthony Basile at Colombian side Cortuluá from January 2006. In January 2007 he moved to La Equidad, where he was joined by compatriot Orlando Rodríguez.
His performances gained him notice with several clubs, particularly with English Championship sides Blackpool and Swansea City during the winter transfer market in 2010. However, a move to England never materialised. He was also on trial for the Championship team Nottingham Forest in December/January 2011/12, impressing then manager, Steve Cotterill. However, this move also failed to materialize.
Millonarios FC
More recently, his continued good form at Millonarios FC caused Roman to be linked with a move to Brazilian side Palmeiras, though this too failed to materialize.
He was a champion of the Colombian national football tournament Liga Postobón II 2012 with Millonarios, for whom he played over 100 matches.
Seattle Sounders FC
On 12 August 2015, Torres signed with Major League Soccer club Seattle Sounders FC. He made his debut for the club on 18 August, during a 4–0 win over Orlando City SC in Seattle.
During a match on 12 September against the San Jose Earthquakes, Torres suffered a knee injury that resulted in him being substituted at half-time. It was later revealed to be an anterior cruciate ligament injury, forcing Torres to miss the rest of the season for surgery and rehabilitation. Torres returned to team training in June 2016 and made his full return on 28 August during a match against the Portland Timbers.
On 10 December 2016, Torres scored the Cup-winning penalty in a shoot-out against Toronto FC to win the MLS Cup, the first in Sounders history.
International career
Torres was a member of the Panama U-20 squad that took part in the 2005 FIFA World Youth Cup in the Netherlands.
Torres has made 99 appearances for the full Panama national football team, including qualifying matches for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and 2010 FIFA World Cup. He made his debut at the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup against South Africa on July 17, 2005. He also made three appearances at the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
While captaining the Panamanian squad in the semifinal match of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup Torres scored the first goal of the match on a header. His team, down a man based on a red card awarded by American referee Mark Geiger, went on to lose the match in extra time after Torres was called for a handball late in regulation.
