In 2012 Romero joined Brazilian club Criciúma and played at the club briefy before joining Náutico. In 2013 he joined his third Brazilian club Tombense. He was sent on loan to Montreal Impact in Major League Soccer for the 2013 season. In his first season with Montreal, Romero made 30 league appearances and scored 2 goals. He also helped the Canadian club win the 2013 Canadian Championship, scoring 1 goal in 4 matches.

On 5 January 2014 the Montreal Impact officially purchased Romero from Tombense.[1]
