Romeo Beckham will play for Brentford's B team on loan from Inter Miami II until end of the season.

LONDON (Reuters) - Romeo Beckham, son of former England captain David Beckham, will play for Brentford s B team on loan from Inter Miami II until the end of the season, the English club said on Friday.

The 20-year-old winger joined the reserve affiliate of his father s Major League Soccer team Inter Miami -- formerly called Fort Lauderdale CF -- in 2021 after a six-year break in his football career that began at Arsenal s Academy.

Beckham spent the MLS Next Pro close season training with Brentford s youth team before the move.

"We ve been absolutely delighted with Romeo since he arrived with us," said Brentford B 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... 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."

Beckham led MLS Next Pro in assists last season with 10, making 20 appearances and scoring two goals.
