Career

Summarize
Perspective

Brazil

Rômulo was born in Rio de Janeiro and started his career at the local club Botafogo.[1] He, however, made his senior debut for Friburguense in the Campeonato Carioca during 2012. During the upcoming years, Rômulo would make a name for himself in the Brazilian lower divisions. He represented Friburguense in the during two different spells, making 74 appearances and scoring 21 goals in total.[2]

Hammarby IF

In February 2016, Rômulo was scouted by Nanne Bergstrand, then manager of Hammarby IF in Allsvenskan.[1] A month later, in March, Rômulo move abroad for the first time in his career by signing a two-year deal with the Swedish club.[3] The transfer fee was reportedly set at 0.5 million Swedish kronor (approximately £55,000), as Friburguense sold their main striker due to financial difficulties.[4]

After a tough start to his newly found career in Europe, mostly being used as a substitute player, Rômulo scored a hat-trick on 17 October 2016 against local rivals Djurgården in a spectacular derby fixture, helping his side secure a 4–2 win.[5] Rômulo's involvement in the victory was later awarded as the "achievement of the year" by the club's supporters.[6]

On 2 April 2017, Rômulo scored on the first match day of Allsvenskan, in a 2–1 away loss against IFK Norrköping.[7] Throughout the first half of the season, Rômulo was used as the second choice striker behind Pa Dibba in new manager Jakob Michelsen's squad.[8] On 4 June, Rômulo once again enjoyed a superb performance against arch rival Djurgårdens IF. He scored a brace as Hammarby won 3–1 on home turf.[9] He was, however, used sparingly during the remainder of season and left the club at the expiration of his contract.[10]

Karlstad

In March 2024, Rômulo returned to Sweden, joining Ettan Norra club Karlstad.[11]
