David Romney (born June 12, 1993) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a defender for Major League Soccer club New England Revolution.

Career

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]

Romney was re-signed by the LA Galaxy at the beginning of the 2019 season.[6]

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]

On January 5, 2023, Romney was traded to New England Revolution in exchange for a total of $525,000 in General Allocation Money.[8] Romney scored his first goal for the Revolution in Major League Soccer play on September 30, 2023, in a 2-1 victory over Charlotte FC.[9]

On October 21, 2023, Romney became only the second player in New England Revolution history to play every minute of a 34-game season, the first being José Gonçalves. Romney was also the only outfield player to play every minute of the 2023 MLS regular season.[10]

Personal life

Romney is a distant relative of 2012 Republican Party presidential candidate, former governor of Massachusetts and current United States Senator from Utah, Mitt Romney.[11]
