Club career

Romeny started playing football at age 8 at DVOL in Lent before moving to the youth academy of NEC Nijmegen.[2] In the winter of 2018, he was promoted to the first-team.[3] Under new coach Pepijn Lijnders, he became a regular part of the squad.[4] On 19 January 2018, he made his debut in a 2–3 away defeat to Almere City, replacing his childhood friend Ferdi Kadıoğlu in the 84th minute. In injury time, he had to leave the field after being sent off by referee Kevin Blom.[5] With that, he became the youngest player ever in the Eerste Divisie to receive a red card in his debut. The card was later dismissed after NEC filed a complaint and won the appeal.[6]
