Schoolboy goalkeeper Jack Porter makes U18s debut as Arsenal face Fulham

Schoolboy goalkeeper Jack Porter has been given his competitive debut for Arsenal U18s away to Fulham today.

With Brian Okonkwo suspended and Noah Cooper set to be released at the end of the season, Porter has been selected to start at Mostpur Park, with fellow U16 goalkeeper Khari Ranson on the bench.

An England U16 international, Porter has made encouraging progress at Hale End and frequently trained and warmed up with the Arsenal U18 squad before matches in the FA Youth Cup last season.
