Romeo Beckham is continuing to follow in his famous dad’s footsteps, and has now signed with Brentford FC.
The 20-year-old footie star, whose parents are, of course, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, has joined the club’s reserve team on loan from Inter Miami.
Romeo has been at the US club, which is co-owned by his father and coached by Phil Neville, since 2021, and made an appearance in a game against Barcelona.
With Major League Soccer currently on a break in the States, Romeo joined Brentford a few months back in a bid to maintain his fitness and perfect his skills on the pitch.
After the deal was announced, the second-eldest Beckham child said he is ‘very proud and very happy’ to be in his new kit.
‘I came here at the start to keep fit during the off-season,’ he said. ‘The chance then came to come on loan here, and I’ve never been so excited.’

Romeo added: ‘It was a fun season [in the USA] and there were a lot of ups and downs, but I’m excited to come here and see what I can do.
‘They’ve (the coaches) helped me massively over the last couple of months, and I’m excited to see what else they can help me with to really progress in football.’
Singing Brentford’s praises, he continued: ‘If you look at Brentford as a club, it’s very positive, and it’s a club that is on the rise very quickly.
‘I’m very grateful to be here.’
