Remi Luke Matthews (born 10 February 1994) is an English footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Bolton Wanderers, on loan from Norwich City.

Career

Born in Gorleston, Norfolk, Matthews began his career at the academy of Norwich City. After an injury to their last loanee Chris Weale, Matthews was signed on a month-long loan by League Two team Burton Albion on 27 November 2014.[3] Two days later, he was included in a matchday squad for the first time in his career, remaining an unused substitute in their 1–0 loss at Shrewsbury Town;[4] this would happen four more times in his spell as he left without an appearance.

On 6 July 2015, Matthews returned to Burton, of League One, on loan until the next January.[5] A week later, he signed a new two-year contract at his parent club.[6] He made his professional debut on 8 August, a 2–1 win against Scunthorpe United at the Pirelli Stadium in Burton's first ever League One match.[7] They ended the season with a second promotion.

After six games in all competitions, Matthews returned to Norwich. On 24 March 2016 he went back to League One, joining Doncaster Rovers for the rest of the season.[8] He made his debut the following day in a 4–1 loss at Colchester United,[9] and totalled nine games for the team from the Keepmoat Stadium, who ended the campaign with relegation.

On 16 July 2016, Matthews joined Scottish Premiership club Hamilton Academical on a season-long loan, having signed a new two-year contract, with the option of another year at Norwich.[10] He made his debut the same day, as Hamilton lost 2–1 to Ayr United in the Scottish League Cup.[11]

On 20 October 2017, Matthews was signed by English League 1 club Plymouth Argyle on an emergency loan as Argyle had all three professional goalkeepers (Luke McCormick, Robbert te Loeke & Kyle Letheren) out injured,[12] making his debut the next day in a 1-0 away win over AFC Wimbledon.[13] Matthews returned to Norwich on 27 November after getting injured in a league game vs Portsmouth.[14]

On 29 December 2017, Matthews joined Argyle on loan for the second time in the same season. Initially on an emergency loan for just one game, vs Blackpool, before then joining in the January transfer window on a loan until the end of the season.[15]

On 12 August 2018, Matthews joined Bolton Wanderers in an initial loan deal, with the move set to be made permanent in January 2019.[16]
