Born in Argentina on 15 December 1999, Zaid Romero is a robust, central defender currently holding a position in the Belgian Pro League's Club Brugge. He stands erect at a height of 6ft 4in (1.95m) and weighs 13st 5lb (85kg). On the pitch, he carries the weight of the number 2 jersey on his shoulders.
Romero developed his skills in his homeland, where in July 2019, he earned recognition, starting his professional career at Primera División's Godoy Cruz in Argentina. However, his debut season of 2019 - 2020 was marked by his limited presence, with only one first-team appearance in league matches.
In a sudden turn of events, February 2021 saw Romero loaned to Villa Dálmine in the Primera Nacional Torneo Malvinas in Argentina. Only a year later, in January 2022, he was found back at Godoy Cruz after the culmination of his loan period.
Romero's breakthrough came in January 2023, when he transferred his services to Estudiantes de La Plata at the Primera División in Argentina. The deal set the club back by a neat sum of £1.4m. His stint at Estudiantes was illustrious, with him making 22 first team appearances and scoring his first league goal in the same season. Romero's current season at Estudiantes also shows promise, with him having appeared thrice on the pitch and scoring once.
July 2024 ushered in a new chapter in Romero's career when he transferred his loyalty from Estudiantes de La Plata to Club Brugge for a generous sum of £5.1m. His journey with Club Brugge is still in its nascent stages with him debuting in the 2024 - 2025 season, having made five first team appearances in league matches so far. He also started in the Super Cup 2024 - 2025 for Club Brugge.
Romero's career, albeit young, has seen him transition through clubs and reach great heights. His journey is seen as an inspiration by many young football enthusiasts and his future, full of promise and potential.
