Brentford 's director of football insists that the signing of David Beckham 's son, Romeo, wasn't a "PR stunt", as the rising star continues to impress.
Romeo, 20, has entered the final few weeks of his loan spell in London from MLS side Inter Miami, the Florida-based franchise which dad David co-owns. The younger Beckham linked up with the Bees in January and a month later bagged his first goal, scoring a dramatic 93rd-minute winner in the Middlesex Senior Challenge Cup against Wealdstone.
Critics have argued that Brentford made the move in an attempt to raise their profile on the global stage, but director of football Phil Giles claims that isn't the case. He insists it would've been a "disaster" if Beckham Jr had a different attitude because of his famous name - but his character has been spot on.
