Playing career
[edit]Roma started his professional football career in 2004 with his local side Sheffield United. On 18 May 2007, Roma was released by Sheffield United along with Colin Marrison, Kyle McFadzean, Ryan Gyaki, James Ashmore and Sharu Naraji.[1]
On 18 February 2005, Roma was sent out on a one-month loan to Football League Two side Boston United to gain first team experience,[2] where he made two appearances.
Roma also spent three months on loan in the Football Conference with Staffordshire club Tamworth. 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 the sacking of Steve Housham by Gainsborough Trinity on 10 March 2016,[4] it was announced that Roma would take on the role of interim manager until the end of the season. His first game in charge of Trinity was a 1–0 victory over Nuneaton Town on 12 March.
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]
Roma signed for Scarborough Athletic in February 2017.[6] In summer of 2017 Roma joined Basford United.[7] On 7 March 2019, he was appointed as interim coach.[8] He was later appointed permanently as a part of the backroom staff.[9]
