Brentford 's director of football insists they did not sign Romeo Beckham as a PR stunt.

Romeo, 20, has entered the last weeks of a loan spell at the Bees from Inter Miami in the MLS.

The son of David Beckham, the Manchester United legend who owns Inter Miami, did score in the Middlesex Senior Challenge Cup against Wealdstone.

Director of football Phil Giles told The High Performance Podcast: "We brought Romeo in on a loan from Inter Miami for our B team and it was one of the most read stories that day on the website. It wasn't a PR stunt in any way.

"The thought that went into Romeo is that we have relationships in football, he was looking for places to train in England as he's an Inter Miami player. We said of course but still didn't look past the process of, is he going to add to that environment as a player? Had he come in and been like, 'I'm a Beckham,' that would have been a disaster for us. The character has to be correct."
