During his time with The Lambs, Roma started all 15 games, however was unable to find the back of the net. Following his release from Sheffield United, Roma joined Tamworth for pre season training after recovering from a serious knee injury which he sustained whilst at Sheffield United.[3]

Following a successful interview, Roma was given the managers job on a permanent basis following Trinity's 4–1 victory over Bradford Park Avenue on the final day of the 2015/16 season.[5]
