Romeo Beckham, son of former England captain David Beckham, made his professional debut for American third-tier club Fort Lauderdale yesterday.

The 19-year-old started in his famous dad's midfield position for the reserve team of Inter Miami - the Major League Soccer side owned by Beckham - in a 2-2 draw at home with South Georgia Tormenta.

Romeo wrote on Instagram that he is blessed to have made his pro debut.

The teenager, who signed a contract with the club in early September, showed some good touches and created an early chance for his new team.

He also linked up well in the midfield with Harvey Neville, the son of Inter Miami head coach Phil Neville - who graduated from Manchester United's Class of '92 with Beckham senior.
