Look! Like father like son - David Beckham's boy Romeo signs football deal, mum Victoria delighted

David Beckham's son Romeo looks set to follow in his father's footsteps after signing his first professional football contract.

David had a successful career playing for Man Utd in the English Premier League and then moved to Spanish Giants Real Madrid.

Victoria is an English singer, songwriter, fashion designer and television personality who rose to prominence in the 1990s as a member of the girl group the Spice Girls. She was keen to show her support of her son and commented on one of his pictures, "We are so proud of you Romeo x."

Romeo has joined US side Fort Lauderdale who operate as a reserve team to David Beckham's own Inter Miami franchise.

New home... The family moved out to Miami permanently last year. Romeo is the second eldest child of after Brooklyn who was also pursuing a football career before opting to move into modelling and photography instead.

Just like dad David, Romeo also operates down the right flank, but is more versatile as he can play in both defence and attack.

He could make his debut this weekend when Lauderdale take on Chattanooga Red Wolves SC at the DRV PNK Stadium on Saturday.

Romeo, an Arsenal fan, recently celebrated his 19th birthday and dad David sent him a touching message on social media, writing: "Happy 19th birthday to my beautiful boy. Have the most amazing day we love you so much and are so proud of the man - almost - that you have become. Keep being you and never change - apart from the team you support. Love you Ro Ro. Love always Dad."
