Former Arsenal goalkeeper Reice Charles-Cook has admitted he felt overwhelmed after leaving the north London club.

The 24-year-old came through the ranks at London Colney but failed to make a first-team appearance. He has spent time Bury, Coventry and Swindon Town and now plays for Danish side SønderjyskE.

"The culture of growing up at Arsenal as a kid, it's a whole different world to lower-league football where the facilities and everything like that aren't as good," he told I.

"I've lived in a bubble for a lot of years of my life. The transition was quite difficult to be honest. That's the way I am, I think it's made a lot of managers not able to trust me. I like to have a laugh and that, people say I'm not serious, people like to say: 'You're not at Arsenal anymore.' That's what a lot of managers like to use as an excuse [for not picking me]."
