Club career
On 31 August 2013, Rommens made his professional debut for Westerlo in the Belgian Second Division against Visé. One year later, he made his Belgian Pro League debut on 26 July 2014 against Lokeren in a 1–0 home win. He replaced Evander Sno after 43 minutes.{{cite web|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2014/07/26/belgium/pro-league/kvc-westerlo/sporting-lokeren-oost-vlaanderen/1696881/|title=Westerlo vs. Lokeren - 26 July 2014 - Soccerway|publisher=soccerway.com|accessdate=2014-08-10}}
At the age of 20, Rommens moved to second division team Dessel, who had already shown interest in signing him the winter before.{{cite news |last1=Steurbaut |first1=Kersten |title='Bijna bij Dessel Sport' |url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20140728_01195507 |work=Het Nieuwsblad |date=29 July 2014 |language=nl-BE}} Gilles Marchandise and Michiel Jaeken had also made the move from Westerlo to Dessel that summer.{{cite news |last1=Van Hoof |first1=Francis |title="De plaatsjes worden duur" |url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20180831_03694999 |work=Het Nieuwsblad |date=1 September 2018 |language=nl-BE}}{{cite news |title=Alle transfers van tweede nationale tot vierde provinciale |url=https://www.pressreader.com/belgium/gazet-van-antwerpen-kempen/20150701/281492159973512 |work=Gazet van Antwerpen Kempen |date=1 July 2015 |language=nl-BE}} Rommens immediately made his mark with Dessel and returned to Westerlo a year later, where he would become a starter.
In the summer of 2019, he left Westerlo for Roeselare, who, like Westerlo, competed in the Belgian First Division B.{{cite news |title=Roeselare neemt Nicolas Rommens over van Westerlo |url=https://www.gva.be/cnt/dmf20190801_04538255 |work=Gazet van Antwerpen |date=1 August 2019 |language=nl-BE}} When his contract expired a year later, he opted for the newly promoted RWDM.{{cite news |title=Ex-Kemphaan Nicolas Rommens naar RWDM |url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20200606_04983225 |work=Nieuwsblad |date=5 June 2020 |language=nl-BE}}
In the summer of 2022, Rommens signed a three-year contract with Zulte Waregem.{{cite web|publisher=Zulte Waregem|url=https://www.essevee.be/nl/team-essevee/nieuws/nicolas-rommens-is-trots-om-boer-te-zijn|title=Nicolas Rommens is trots om boer te zijn|access-date=22 August 2022|language=nl}}
