London: David Beckham’s son Romeo has joined the B team of English Premier League club Brentford on loan until the end of the season.
Romeo Beckham has been training with Brentford B for a couple of months to keep fit in the Major League Soccer offseason.
But he’s impressed the club enough to arrange for his Inter Milan II, the reserve team of the MLS club co-owned by his father, to loan him subject to international clearance.
The 20-year-old midfielder will help Brentford B challenge for the Premier League Cup — for under-21 players — and play matches overseas.
“I’m very proud and very happy to be here,” Beckham said Friday.
Also happy was B team coach Neil MacFarlane.
“Romeo has applied himself unbelievably well, he’s really bought into the culture and the group which he has become a big part of,” MacFarlane said.
“I love his standards and the way he conducts himself on and off the pitch.”
Beckham joined Fort Lauderdale CF in 2021 before the reserve side was renamed Inter Miami II last year. They play in MLS Next Pro, and Beckham led the league last season in assists with 10.
