D. Romney is a 33-year-old central defender at San Jose Earthquakes, rated 17.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 432nd of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (87.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Romney.
Judged on this season alone, Romney graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 65th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 4 clean sheets and 2.254 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 70th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 33 Romney is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
