Romeo Beckham 'very proud and very happy' with Brentford chance

Romeo Beckham has enjoyed his first weeks with Brentford.

The midfielder has joined on-loan from Inter Miami.

Having had the chance to work with Neil MacFarlane's side, Beckham is relishing the opportunity to continue his development with the Bees.

“I'm very proud and very happy to be here," he said.

“I came here at the start to keep fit during the off season. The chance then came to come on loan here and I've never been so excited.

“It was a fun season [in the USA] and there were a lot of ups and downs but I'm excited to come here and see what I can do."

In recent months Beckham has been able to build a strong bond with the B-team players as they continue their hard work on the pitch in what has been a positive first half of the campaign.

The youngster is also keen to continue learning under Brentford B head coach MacFarlane and assistant coach Sam Saunders.

Discussing the group and becoming part of the B-team squad, Romeo feels that the talent in the team can only help his development.

He continued: "I've loved it. They're such nice boys and have good energy. I love coming in every day seeing them and getting to train every day with them is fun.

“They are all very talented players, and they drive me to be even better in myself. A few of them give me some kicks and I give them back, but we all come into work hard to get better in ourselves and the coaches drive that.

“They've [MacFarlane and Saunders] helped me massively over the last couple of months and I'm excited to see what else they can help me with to really progress in football.

"If you look at Brentford as a club, it's very positive and it's a club that is on the rise very quickly. I'm very grateful to be here."
