Beckham said: “It’s the best feeling, honestly. I’m so excited. They’ve welcomed me from day one, I’ve loved every second of it. It’s obviously a different experience to Miami. [In the Premier League Cup], it’s a great experience being able to play against men’s teams.”
Brentford B head coach MacFarlane said: “We added Romeo to our squad in January and he’s been fantastic for the group. He’s had a terrific end to the season [and] in his recent match against Manchester City, he showed what he’s learned during his loan with us.
“We’ve continued to develop him in and out of possession and we look forward to him coming back in good spirits to continue working with him next season.”
