Reice Charles-Cook

Confident and athletic with fine reflexes, Reice is one of a handful of promising young goalkeepers looking to emulate Wojciech Szczesny and reach the Arsenal first team.

The young shot stopper, a graduate of the Hale End Academy, was a regular for the Under-18s last season and made 17 appearances in the Premier Academy League. He also featured in the FA Youth Cup.

Reice’s uncle, James Cook MBE, is a former British and European super-middleweight boxing champion and highly-respected community leader in east London.

Reice signed his first professional contract in summer 2012.

Reice has joined Blue Square Bet South club Chelmsford City on loan for one month, until the end of February.
