Legendary name returns to England as Brentford sign Romeo Beckham | OneFootball

The Beckham name has returned to English football, as confirmed by Brentford on Friday.

Romeo, son of football legend David Beckham, has joined the club’s ‘B side’ on loan until the end of the 2022/23 season.

The 20-year-old midfielder (who can also play as a winger) was previously playing for Inter Miami CF’s reserve side in Major League Soccer. The senior Beckham is part owner of the club.

Romeo, who has 26 appearances to his name for Inter Miami II, two goals and 10 assists, now looks to develop his talents further with the Bees.

Despite not yet making his MLS debut, the youngster did feature during a friendly match against Barcelona this past summer.

“We’ve been absolutely delighted with Romeo since he arrived with us,” said Brentford B head coach Neil MacFarlane.

“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.

“He is very technical, and he is 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.”

Can he potentially crack into the first team?
