Early life

[4] He attended Wetherby School in London and, then, Millfield School in Street, Somerset. [5] [6]

In 2014, Beckham joined Arsenal's Academy but was released the following year.

[4] In support of the decision, his father replaced the tennis court he had previously built at the family home with a football pitch. [7]

Club career

In September 2021, after turning 19, Beckham joined USL League One club Fort Lauderdale CF (renamed Inter Miami II in 2022), the reserve affiliate of his father's Major League Soccer club Inter Miami. [8] This came after he had been seen training with the Inter Miami team in February. [9] On 19 September, Beckham made his professional debut in a 2–2 draw against Tormenta FC. [10] In that match, he appeared alongside Harvey Neville, the son of his father's former Manchester United teammate Phil Neville. [11] On 26 January 2022, Beckham made his non-competitive senior debut for Inter Miami during a 4–0 pre-season win against Club Universitario de Deportes. [12]

In October 2022, Beckham began training in England with Brentford B, [13] who he joined in January 2023 on a six-month loan. [14] He made his debut four days later, coming on as a second-half sub in a London Senior Cup game against Erith & Belvedere at Park View Road. [15] He scored his first goal on 14 February 2023, in a Middlesex Senior Cup game against Wealdstone, scoring a 93rd minute winning goal in a 3-2 victory. [16] In May 2023, Beckham was part of the Brentford B squad that won the 2022–23 Premier League Cup, although he was an unused substitute in the cup final. [17] He made 15 appearances for Brentford B during the 2022-23 season. [18] At the conclusion of his loan, he signed a permanent one-year contract with Brentford B. [19] [20]
