But he has now been released after his contract expired, with Bromley opting not to offer him a new contract.

The midfielder made 10 appearances for Andy Woodman’s team, scoring one goal.

But he has played just once this season, coming off the bench for a 13-minute cameo in January.

Bergkamp Jr did not take part in Bromley’s play-off final triumph over Solihull Moors at Wembley, as a penalty shootout victory earned them promotion to the Football League for the first time in their history.

His father, Dennis, is one of Arsenal’s most iconic players, having spent 11 years with the Gunners, from 1995 to 2006.

He played 422 games for the club, scoring 120 goals and assisting 106 more.

Bergkamp Sr won three Premier League titles and four FA Cups under Arsene Wenger.

He also won 79 caps for the Dutch national team, scoring 37 goals.
