The Next Wave report that Arsenal have completed the academy signing of 2010-born goalkeeper Cody Callard-Williams, following the player’s departure from Reading.

Callard-Williams recently made his debut appearance for the Arsenal u15s, posting on Instagram: “Proud to make my Arsenal debut. Much more to come soon.”

The Next Wave reveal that Callard-Williams played 45 minutes in Arsenal’s 5-1 win, not conceding during his time on the pitch.

Callard-Williams announced his departure from Reading in January, subsequently spending time on trials with the likes of Brighton and Hove Albion and Chelsea.

But it seems as though he’s now joining Arsenal, with the player updating his social media pages to include his new club in his bio.

The young goalkeeper has already been involved in an England goalkeeping development camp, with the FA clearly keeping an eye on his progress for future youth call-ups.

It’s evidently been a good start to life at Arsenal for Callard-Williams, and we wish him all the best with his time at the club.
