Romário de Souza Faria Filho (born 20 September 1993), commonly known as Romarinho, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward. He made two substitute appearances for Vasco da Gama in the 2015 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, but spent most of his career in the lower leagues of Brazilian football.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Barcelona, Spain, Romarinho joined Vasco da Gama's youth setup in 2007. On 5 December 2012, he rescinded with the club,[1] and moved to Brasiliense a day later.[2]

Romarinho made his senior debuts during the 2013 campaign, scoring a goal in the year's Campeonato Brasiliense 3–0 win over Brasília.[3] On 5 January 2015 he left Brasiliense,[4] and immediately returned to his first club Vasco.[5]

Romarinho made his Série A debut on 29 August 2015, coming on as a late substitute for Julio dos Santos in a 0–1 home loss against Figueirense.[6]

At the end of 2015, Romarinho agreed to spend the upcoming year with Zweigen Kanazawa in the J. League Division 2,[7] and he returned to a contract at Macaé for the 2017 Campeonato Carioca.[8] At its conclusion, he joined Tupi for the year's Série C campaign,[9] He scored just once in his spell in Minas Gerais, a consolation in a 3–2 home loss to Bragantino on 9 September.[10]

In December 2017, Romarinho signed for Figueirense.[11] He played only three matches as they won the Campeonato Catarinense, scoring on 24 January to win the home game against Brusque.[12] Despite his low involvement – partially due to competition from Henan – his contract was extended to the end of the year, taking in the Alvinegro team's Série B campaign.[13]

Romarinho returned to Tupi in January 2019.[14] Three months later, after finishing the 2019 Campeonato Mineiro with eight games and one goal, he signed for Maringá for the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.[15]

On 9 December 2019, Romarinho returned to Santa Catarina, joining Joinville for the upcoming state league season.[16]

For 2021, Romarinho transferred to Campeonato Gaúcho side Novo Hamburgo. He played five state league games before leaving for personal reasons on 26 March.[17]

In January 2022, Romarinho signed with Icasa of the Campeonato Cearense for the year. Having played just 25 minutes, he left by mutual consent in March before the Série D season began.[18]

Personal life

[edit]

Romarinho's father, Romário, is also a footballer and a forward. He too was brought through the youth system at Vasco.[19] In 2024, aged 58, his father came out of retirement and was registered as a player-president for America in the 2024 Campeonato Carioca Série A2 to play alongside Romarinho.[20][21]
