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 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.

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]
