Biography

Born in Acerra, Campania, Romano started his career at Lombard club F.C. Internazionale Milano. He was a player of under-12 team in Lombard Esordienti League in 2006–07 season,[1] to under-17 team in National Allievi League in 2011–12 season.[2] At Inter Milan Romano also received call-up from national youth teams,[3][4] despite his namesake, defender born 1996 of S.S.C. Napoli made his debut, instead of the Inter youth product. On 13 August 2012 Romano left for the reserve team of Pro Vercelli, initially in temporary deal.[5] Romano also wore no.21 shirt for the first team. He only played once for the Serie B team, on 18 May 2013, the last round of 2012–13 Serie B, as a substitute of Pietro Iemmello in the opening of the first half. Romano was substituted by Cristian Bunino in the second half of the match.[6] Pro Vercelli was relegated to Lega Pro Prima Divisione after that match, however also signed Romano outright from Inter.

On 31 January 2014 Romano was signed by Serie B club Brescia Calcio.[7] On 27 June 2014, few days before the closure of 2013–14 financial year, Romano (for €2.4 million) and Felice Di Cecco (for €1.6 million) were sold to Serie A newcomer Cesena, with Emanuele Fonte (for €2.4 million) and Simone Galassi (for €1.6 million) moved to Brescia.[8] Romano signed a three-year contract.[9]
