Rômulo Cabral Pereira Pinto (born 2 November 1991 in Rio de Janeiro), commonly known as Rômulo (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈʁõmulu]), is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Karlstad.

Career

Brazil

Rômulo was born in Rio de Janeiro and started his career at the local club Botafogo. He, however, made his senior debut for Friburguense in the Campeonato Carioca during 2012. During the upcoming years, Rômulo would make a name for himself in the Brazilian lower divisions. He represented Friburguense in the during two different spells, making 74 appearances and scoring 21 goals in total.

Hammarby IF

In February 2016, Rômulo was scouted by Nanne Bergstrand, then manager of Hammarby IF in Allsvenskan. A month later, in March, Rômulo move abroad for the first time in his career by signing a two-year deal with the Swedish club. The transfer fee was reportedly set at 0.5 million Swedish kronor (approximately £55,000), as Friburguense sold their main striker due to financial difficulties.

After a tough start to his newly found career in Europe, mostly being used as a substitute player, Rômulo scored a hat-trick on 17 October 2016 against local rivals Djurgården in a spectacular derby fixture, helping his side secure a 4–2 win. Rômulo's involvement in the victory was later awarded as the "achievement of the year" by the club's supporters.

On 2 April 2017, Rômulo scored on the first match day of Allsvenskan, in a 2–1 away loss against IFK Norrköping. Throughout the first half of the season, Rômulo was used as the second choice striker behind Pa Dibba in new manager Jakob Michelsen's squad. On 4 June, Rômulo once again enjoyed a superb performance against arch rival Djurgårdens IF. He scored a brace as Hammarby won 3–1 on home turf. He was, however, used sparingly during the remainder of season and left the club at the expiration of his contract.

Karlstad

In March 2024, Rômulo returned to Sweden, joining Ettan Norra club Karlstad.
