Bristol Rovers reject Matt Macey makes Arsenal bench

Matt Macey made the bench for Arsenal's 1-0 win at West Bromwich Albion yesterday.

Emiliano Martinez was between the posts with No 1 choice Wojciech Szczesny out with a hip injury and summer signing David Ospina is still a long term absentee.

Macey, standing at 6ft 6in, was snapped up from Bristol Rovers last season after successful trials.

Interestingly, the teen was originally rejected by the Bristol Rovers' Centre of Excellence in 2007. However he didn't give up and turned out for Bath City and Yate Town before eventually returning to Rovers in 2009.
