Matthew Ryan Macey (born 9 September 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays for Arsenal as a goalkeeper.
Career
Macey started to play youth football for Avon Arsenal Comets. In 2007 he applied but was rejected from Bristol Rovers' Centre of Excellence.[2] Macey then later went on to represent the youth teams of Bath City and Yate Town before Bristol Rovers signed him in 2009 before signing him as a full-time scholar in 2011.[2] He first appeared in the Bristol Rovers squad for their League Two fixture against Torquay United in March 2012 but never made a first team appearance for Bristol Rovers. He was however a part of their under-18 double-winning team.[2]
In October 2013 he signed for Arsenal after a trial with them.[3] Arsenal beat off competition from Everton and a number of Football League Championship teams in order to sign Macey from Bristol Rovers.[4] Due to his age, Arsenal also reportedly paid Bristol Rovers £100,000 in compensation for Macey after he had rejected an offer of a new contract at Bristol Rovers.[5] In his first season at Arsenal, Macey made 15 appearances for the club's Academy.[2] He was also suggested as an immediate replacement for Łukasz Fabiański.[6] In 2014, Macey was chosen to travel with Arsenal's first team to a pre-season training camp in Austria and was later selected as a substitute for Arsenal's Premier League match against West Bromwich Albion.[2][7]
In January 2015 he signed for Accrington Stanley for a month on loan,[8] making his league debut on 17 January against Tranmere Rovers.[9]
