Román Torres
Román Aureliano Torres Morcillo (born 20 March 1986) is a Panamanian footballer who plays as a defender for Seattle Sounders FC of MLS.
Club career
Torres started his career at Chepo and played alongside compatriot Anthony Basile at Colombian side Cortuluá from January 2006. In January 2007 he moved to La Equidad, where he was joined by compatriot Orlando Rodríguez.
His performances gained him notice with several clubs, particularly with English Championship sides Blackpool and Swansea City during the winter transfer market in 2010. However, a move to England never materialised. He was also on trial for the Championship team Nottingham Forest in December/January 2011/12, impressing then manager, Steve Cotterill. However, this move also failed to materialize.
Millonarios FC
More recently, his continued good form at Millonarios FC caused the Roman to be linked with a move to Brazilian side Palmeiras, though this too failed to materialize.
He was a champion of the Colombian national football tournament Liga Postobón II 2012 with Millonarios, for whom he played over 100 matches.
