Marcos Romeu Moreira da Rocha (born 17 February 1986), known as Romeu, is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Born in Paredes, Porto District, Romeu spent the better part of his first six years as a senior competing in the third and fourth divisions of Portuguese football, with hometown club U.S.C. Paredes. He was part of F.C. Penafiel's Primeira Liga roster in the 2005−06 season, but his input consisted of two bench appearances.

In the summer of 2013, after two years in the Segunda Liga with C.D. Aves,[2] Romeu signed for F.C. Paços de Ferreira of the top flight.[3] He made his debut in the competition on 16 August, playing 17 minutes in a 0−2 home loss against S.C. Braga.[4]

Romeu scored his first goal in the Portuguese top tier on 12 December 2015, netting the opener in a 6−0 home win over C.F. União.[5] He suffered a serious muscular injury the following February,[6] going on to miss the entire 2016−17 campaign but having his contract previously renewed.[7]

On 21 June 2017, free agent Romeu joined division two side Varzim S.C. on a one-year deal.[8] The following January, after less than half an hour of game time, he cancelled his contract and dropped down a tier to Amarante FC.[9]

Personal life

Romeu's younger brother, Vasco, was also a footballer and a midfielder. He shared teams with his sibling on several occasions.[10]
