Born and raised in Irvine, California, Romney began his professional career with LA Galaxy II, having previously played in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy with the Irvine Strikers[3] as well as the University of San Francisco men's soccer team and amateur club San Francisco City FC. He made his USL debut against Sacramento Republic FC in March 2015.[4] He became the first LA Galaxy II player to sign a MLS contract when he was signed by LA Galaxy on August 5, 2015.[5]

On November 12, 2019, Romney was traded to Nashville SC ahead of their inaugural season in MLS. LA Galaxy received $225,000 in General Allocation Money and will receive an additional $50,000 in General Allocation Money if Romney meets certain performance-based metrics.[7]
