Born in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, on Christmas Day 1955, Romaines played six first-class matches for Northamptonshire in 1975 and 1976 before returning to his native Durham for five seasons of Minor Counties cricket. An opening or middle-order batsman and occasional off-spinner, he then played ten seasons with Gloucestershire from 1982 to 1991, in which he played 161 first-class matches, and one season (1984–85) in South Africa for Griqualand West.

His 8120 first-class runs at an average of 28.39 included 13 hundreds. His best season was 1984 when he scored 1844 runs for Gloucestershire at 35.46.[1] His highest score was his first century, 186 for Gloucestershire against Warwickshire in 1982.[2]

Romaines is now head of PSHE, Cricket and Assistant House Master in North Town at Clifton College in Bristol.[3]
