David Beckham’s son Romeo signs with Inter Miami’s USL Fort Lauderdale CF team
David Beckham’s son Romeo, who celebrated his 19th birthday in Miami Wednesday, is following in his father’s soccer ball bending footsteps.
The second oldest of the four Beckham children signed a contract to play for his father’s Inter Miami organization as a member of the club’s USL Fort Lauderdale CF team.
The bio on Romeo’s Instagram account, which has three million followers, says: “Footballer for @fortlauderdalecf”. His post from Thursday has a photo of him training in the club’s uniform with the caption “Follow your dreams”. His pop star/fashion designer mother, Victoria, commented: “We are so proud of you Romeo.”
Beckham was on the game roster on Saturday as the team tied Chattanooga Red Wolves SC 0-0 at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. He was on the bench but did not get into the match.
Romeo Beckham has been seen training with the Ft. Lauderdale team, which also includes Harvey Neville, son of Inter Miami coach Phil Neville. He also has attended many Inter Miami games with his father.
His signing came on the 25th anniversary week of David Beckham’s English national team debut. The family celebrated Romeo’s birthday at David Grutman’s new Sushi Fly Chicken restaurant in Miami Beach.
