# Ole Romeny

Ole Lennard ter Haar Romenij (born 20 June 2000), commonly known as Ole Romeny, is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL Championship club Oxford United.

## Club career
### NEC

Romeny started playing football at age 8 at DVOL in Lent before moving to the youth academy of NEC Nijmegen. In the winter of 2018, he was promoted to the first-team. Under new coach Pepijn Lijnders, he became a regular part of the squad. On 19 January 2018, he made his debut in a 2–3 away defeat to Almere City, replacing his childhood friend Ferdi Kadıoğlu in the 84th minute. In injury time, he had to leave the field after being sent off by referee Kevin Blom. With that, he became the youngest player ever in the Eerste Divisie to receive a red card in his debut. The card was later dismissed after NEC filed a complaint and won the appeal.

#### Loan to Willem II

On 30 September 2020, Romeny signed for Eredivisie club Willem II on a season-long loan, with the option of a permanent transfer.

### Emmen

On 27 January 2022, Romeny signed with Emmen for a 1.5-year term.

### Utrecht

On 13 June 2023, Romeny joined Utrecht on a three-season deal.

### Oxford United

On 5 January 2025, Romeny signed for EFL Championship side Oxford United on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee. On 1 March 2025, Romeny scored his first goal for the team against Coventry City in a 2–3 loss.

## International career
### Netherlands national youth team

Romeny played one international match for the Netherlands national under-15 and under-18 teams.

### Indonesia national senior team

In November 2024, Romeny confirmed that he had decided to represent Indonesia at international level. On 20 February 2025, the change of his association was approved by FIFA, becoming cap-tied to Indonesia in the process.
On 9 March 2025, Romeny received his first call-up from the Indonesia senior side for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Australia and Bahrain.
