She was part of the French team that won the U17 World Cup in 2012, where she also picked up the award for goalkeeper of the tournament. She went on to feature in the U20 World Cup in 2014, where France finished third. Romane has so far earned a total of 28 caps with the French youth sides Assertive, competitive and hard-working, Romane is constantly striving to improve. Her goalkeeping talents are undeniable, and the club staff and supporters are all thrilled that she will be a Bordeaux player for the foreseeable future.
