Club career
Over the course of nine seasons, Romeu amassed first division totals of 184 games and 31 goals, mainly with C.S. Maritimo (two years) and Vitoria de Guimaraes (four). In 2002–03, he scored a career-best ten goals in 29 matches as the latter finished fourth and nearly qualified to the UEFA Cup.
Romeu, who also unsuccessfully represented FC Porto during two seasons, retired in June 2006 at the age of 31 after a poor campaign with C.F. Os Belenenses, both individually (two goals) and collectively (15th place for the Lisbon club).
International career
Courtesy of his stellar year with Guimaraes, Romeu gained two caps for Portugal in October 2002: on the 16th, in his last appearance, he helped the national team come from behind 0–2 in Sweden to win it 3–2, netting the equalizer in the 53rd minute.
