Early and personal life

Club career
Arsenal
In 2014, Beckham joined Arsenal's Academy but was released the following year. After his release, he admitted that he no longer wished to pursue a career in football, instead taking up tennis training with Andy Murray. In 2020, however, Beckham announced that he was looking to return to football after a five-year absence. In support of the decision, his father, David Beckham, replaced the tennis court he had previously built at the family home with a football pitch.
Inter Miami
In September 2021, after turning 19, Beckham joined USL League One club Fort Lauderdale CF (renamed Inter Miami II in 2022), the reserve affiliate of his father's Major League Soccer club Inter Miami. This came after he had been seen training with the Inter Miami team in February. On 19 September, Beckham made his professional debut in a 2–2 draw against Tormenta FC. In that match, he appeared alongside Harvey Neville, the son of his father's former Manchester United teammate Phil Neville.
On 26 January 2022, Beckham made his non-competitive senior debut for Inter Miami during a 4–0 pre-season win against Club Universitario de Deportes.
