Career

Early career

Born in Lewisham, London, Reice-Cook was a youth player at Arsenal and signed his first professional contract there in 2012 before joining Chelmsford City of the Conference South for a month in February 2013.[2]

Charles-Cook was released by Arsenal, and after a trial at Bristol City he joined Bury of League Two on a year-long deal.[3] He made his professional debut on 15 March 2014 in a goalless draw at Southend United as a half-time substitute for Brian Jensen.[4]

Coventry City

On 18 July 2014, Charles-Cook signed a one-year deal with League One club Coventry City with an option for a second year.[5] He was immediately loaned out to Nuneaton Town in the Conference Premier until January.[6] After impressing at Nuneaton, Charles-Cook was rewarded with Coventry extending his contract until the end of the 2015–16 season. He made his first team debut for Coventry on 11 August 2015 in a League Cup first-round game at Rochdale, which the team lost on penalties after a 1–1 draw.[7]

Following an illness to Lee Burge, Reice Charles-Cook made his league debut for Coventry City against Shrewsbury Town in a 3–0 victory and held onto his first-team place after Burge's full recovery to fitness, keeping a further two clean sheets against Yeovil Town in the Football League Trophy and against Fleetwood Town in League One. He played the next two matches for Coventry against Blackpool and Rochdale respectively and kept clean sheets in both which meant he made history for the club by being the first Coventry goalkeeper to keep clean sheets in his first four league games and also set a club post-war record for the most consecutive minutes without conceding a goal.[8][9][10] On 12 November 2015, Charles-Cook signed a new contract committing his future to Coventry until 2018.[11]

Charles-Cook started the 2016–17 season as first choice goalkeeper for Coventry City.[12] However, after making an error which lead to a goal in a 2–2 draw with AFC Wimbledon he lost his starting place to Burge.[13] He was an unused substitute as Coventry won the 2017 EFL Trophy Final.[14]

Later career

On 31 August 2017, Charles-Cook signed a two-year deal with Swindon Town.[15] Following the suspension of first-choice goalkeeper, Lawrence Vigouroux, Charles-Cook made his Swindon debut in their 2–1 away defeat against Cheltenham Town on 7 October 2017.[16] He was released by Swindon at the end of the 2017–18 season.[17]

On 4 October 2018, Charles-Cook joined Danish Superliga side SønderjyskE on a deal until the end of the year.[18] He made one appearance in the fourth round of the Danish Cup on 7 November, a 2–1 home loss after extra time to Esbjerg fB.[19]

On 15 January 2019, Charles-Cook signed for League One side Shrewsbury Town on a deal until the end of the season.[20] Having made no appearances and turned down a new contract for the Shrews, he signed for League Two side Macclesfield Town on a one-year deal on 9 August.[21]

He attended Forest Hill Boys school. He is the brother of fellow professional footballers Anthony Cook and Regan Charles-Cook.[22]
