Marcos Romeu Moreira da Rocha (born 17 February 1986), known as Romeu, is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.
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 2005âÂÂ06 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, Romeu signed for F.C. Paços de Ferreira of the top flight. He made his debut in the competition on 16 August, playing 17 minutes in a 0âÂÂ2 home loss against S.C. Braga.
Romeu scored his only goal in the Portuguese top tier on 12 December 2015, opening the 6âÂÂ0 home win over C.F. União. He suffered a serious muscular injury the following February, going on to miss the entire 2016âÂÂ17 campaign but having his contract previously renewed.
On 21 June 2017, free agent Romeu joined division two side Varzim S.C. on a one-year deal. The following January, after less than half an hour of game time, he cancelled his contract and dropped down a tier to Amarante FC.
Romeu's younger brother, Vasco, was also a footballer and a midfielder. He shared teams with his sibling on several occasions.
