Romeo Beckham, son of David Beckham, played for Inter Miami’s reserve team in his professional debut on Sunday night as Fort Lauderdale drew 2-2 with South Georgia Tormenta.
Playing 79 minutes on the right wing, like his father did during his footballing career for the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid and England, the 19-year-old gave his team several chances to score goals.
Beckham, wearing the number 11 shirt, played alongside ex-Manchester United trainee Harvey Neville, the son of Phil Neville who manages Miami’s first team.
Miami owner Beckham appointed his former Manchester United and England teammate Neville as head coach in January following a spell as England Women boss.
Miami are currently ninth in the Eastern Conference of the MLS, after a 4-0 defeat to New York Red Bulls on Saturday.
