AceShowbiz - In a surprising turn of events, Romeo Beckham has reportedly decided to leave Brentford FC to carve a new career in fashion. The 22-year-old had been offered a new contract with the Premier League club's B team but opted to follow in his mother Victoria's footsteps instead.

A source revealed, Romeo has decided to hang up his football boots and devote his time to his fashion career. He has loved his time at Brentford but needs to focus his attention on fashion, which is where his passion lies.

Romeo's fashion journey is not entirely new. He appeared in a Burberry campaign at just ten years old and was named Britain's 26th best dressed man in 2011. In 2021, he landed a £1.2 million deal to become the face of Puma and modeled for Yves Saint Laurent and Vogue. Now, having signed with top Paris fashion agency Safe Management, Romeo plans to work with massive brands in the industry.

Speaking to The Sun, a source stated, Romeo has recently signed with a top fashion agent in Paris and has his sights set on working with some massive brands.

While Romeo is turning his primary focus to fashion, his connection to football remains. He will continue to be part of the Brentford Penguins, a team dedicated to players with Down syndrome, aged five and above.

Brentford's director of football, Phil Giles, praised Romeo's attitude during his time with the club. Had he come in and been like, 'I'm a Beckham,' that would have been a disaster for us. But he is not like that at all. He's like his dad in that he is a humble guy with a good work ethic and wants to do extra hours on the training ground, Giles shared.

Aside from his professional pursuits, Romeo recently celebrated his 22nd birthday with heartfelt tributes from his family. On Instagram, David Beckham posted a sweet message, Happy 22nd Birthday to my beautiful boy. We are so proud of the man you have turned into, kind, passionate, and hardworking. Have the most amazing day because you deserve it. Love you mate so much.

Victoria, Brooklyn Beckham, and other family members also shared warm birthday wishes for Romeo.
