Club career
Early career
Born in Reus, Tarragona, Catalonia, Román began playing football with local UE Barri Santes Creus and the youth ranks of RCD Espanyol[1] whom he left in 2009 to sign for Manchester City. Román played for City's reserve side and was called up once by the first team, remaining an unused substitute in a 3–2 win over Sporting Clube de Portugal in the last 16 of the season's UEFA Europa League.[2]
Barcelona B
On 27 June 2012, he returned to his homeland after signing a three-year contract with FC Barcelona B.[3] He made his professional debut on 8 September away to CD Guadalajara, replacing Sergio Araujo for the final 24 minutes of the 1–0 Segunda División win. In his next game on 13 October, again off the bench, he scored his first goal to conclude a 3–0 victory against Sporting de Gijón at the Mini Estadi.[4] Román totalled 22 games over his first season, also scoring on 13 January 2013 in a 4–2 home win over Xerez CD within a minute of entering the field of play.[5]
After adding another couple of goals in 16 appearances over the first half of his second season, Román was loaned to La Liga side Villarreal CF on 31 January 2014, for the remainder of the campaign.[6] Eight days later he made his top-flight debut, playing the final 28 minutes of a 4–2 loss at Real Madrid in place of Moi Gómez; his only other appearance for the Yellow Submarine was on 5 April, starting in a 1–0 loss away to Atlético Madrid.
Román returned to his parent club for the 2014–15 season, playing 32 games in a campaign that ended in relegation. He totalled five goals over its course, including two on 23 May in a 4–2 loss at UD Las Palmas, despite playing only 22 minutes.[7]
Braga
After his contract expired at Barcelona, Román moved to S.C. Braga in Portugal, signing a three-year deal on 28 June 2015.[8] He made his Primeira Liga debut on the first day of the season, scoring the winner in a 2–1 home win over C.D. Nacional seven minutes after coming on.[9]
After playing only six more games in any competition for the Arsenalistas, Román was loaned to Nacional, alongside fellow Braga player Rodrigo Pinho, on 18 January 2016 until the end of the campaign.[10]
