Romeo Beckham made his professional football debut on Sunday playing for American third-tier side Fort Lauderdale - which is owned by his father David.
The 19-year-old joined Fort Lauderdale - the reserve team of Inter Miami, the Major League Soccer side founded and owned by Beckham Snr, earlier this month and his first outing came in a 2-2 home draw with South Georgia Tormenta this weekend.
In true Beckham style, he ensured the news was well documented on social media and even changed his Instagram bio to confirm the career move, with the new tagline listing him as an Athlete and reading: 'Footballer for @fortlauderdalecf #11'.
Beckham Jnr started on the right wing, just like his father used to do for Manchester United and England, before being hooked off on 79 minutes without a goal or an assist to his name.

The teenager did, however, show some flashes of brilliance and linked up well with Harvey Neville - son of former United star and current Miami head coach Phil - who started for Fort Lauderdale in the middle of the park.
