Román Aureliano Torres Morcillo (Spanish pronunciation: [roˈman ˈtores]; born 20 March 1986) is a Panamanian professional footballer who plays as a defender for the Tacoma Stars in the Major Arena Soccer League.

[2] Torres started his career at Chepo and played alongside compatriot Anthony Basile at Colombian side Cortuluá from January 2006.

[4] His performances gained him notice with several clubs, particularly with English Championship sides Blackpool and Swansea City during the winter transfer market in 2010.

[6] More recently, his continued good form at Millonarios FC caused Roman to be linked with a move to Brazilian side Palmeiras, though this too failed to materialize.

[14] On 10 December 2016, Torres scored the Cup-winning penalty in a shoot-out against Toronto FC to win the MLS Cup, the first in Sounders history.

His team, down a man based on a red card awarded by the referee,[26] lost the match in extra time after Torres was called for a handball late in regulation.

[30] However he has since backtracked from his statement, accepting a call-up for a friendly against Venezuela in September 2018, and was included in Panama's squad for the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
