David Beckham's son Romeo has signed with a Premier League reserve team on loan from Inter Miami II.
Romeo, 20, is a right winger like his father was and joined Fort Lauderdale CF in 2021, before it was renamed Inter Miami II.
He played six minutes for Inter Miami's first team in a pre-season friendly with Barcelona in July of last year, but is now on loan from the team to play across the pond until June this year.
In a post on its website, Inter Miami FC wrote: "Inter Miami CF II announced today that Romeo Beckham has joined Brentford B on a six-month loan. The winger will feature for the English Premier League club’s reserve side until June 2023.

"Beckham, 20, excelled for Inter Miami CF II in 2022, leading MLS NEXT Pro with 10 assists in its inaugural season. Overall, he made 20 appearances, 19 of them starts, and added two goals for the team last season."
Brentford FC in West London confirmed the news that Romeo will be representing the B team squad on the six-month loan after the club completed its signing.
Commenting on the deal, Brentford B head coach Neil MacFarlane commended Romeo's performance so far, saying: "We've been absolutely delighted with Romeo since he arrived with us.
"He came to us from Inter Miami with the aim of working with us during their close season. Romeo has applied himself unbelievably well, he's really bought into the culture and the group which he has become a big part of.

"I love his standards and the way he conducts himself on and off the pitch. He's been able to get fitter and fitter during his time with us and it leaves him in a good place to now step forward having joined us on loan."
MacFarlane went on to describe Romeo as being 'very technical', and 'somebody who can shift the ball quickly and cross'.
"He is also a really good finisher and he has the ability to play a number of positions for us, which is also pleasing. I think it's testament to us as a club, and as a B team, that Inter Miami have asked us to work with him and trust in us to continue working with him to help him with his development," the coach added.
Romeo celebrated the news by sharing a picture of himself and his dad holding up his new kit, alongside a caption which reads: "An exciting start to the year. Looking forward to the challenge."
