We observed the afterglow of the short-soft GRB 190627A (Sonbas et al.

24899, Kann et al., GCN 24901) with IO-I on the 2 m Liverpool Telescope,
at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, in La Palma (Spain).
The observation consisted of 4 visits of 10 x 60 s in the H band, with
good detections at all epochs. In the first epoch, obtained at a mean
epoch 11.6492 hr after the burst, the object is detected at a magnitude
of H(AB) = 17.04 +/- 0.10 mag. The photometry was performed with respect
to 2MASS field stars.
