Youngest player ever to make the starting Xl of Arsenal FC!

Celebrations are in order as the young and talented Jack Porter takes a remarkable step in his footballing career. We congratulate Jack on his debut for the first team of Arsenal FC in the game against Bolton Wanderers FC. Porter was goalkeeper of the England U16 national team that won the Football Federations Cup U16 in February 2024.

Yesterday Mikel Arteta chose Jack to be his goalkeeper for the match in the Carabao Cup. Jack played the whole game and after the match Arteta spoke great words of him. With his 16 years and 72 days, Porter is the youngest player ever to make the starting Xl for the first team of Arsenal FC. Arsenal FC won the game with a big 5-1 and multiple other academy talents made their debuts. We are happy to have played a role in Jack’s journey and wish him the best of luck for his further career at the Gunners!
