Tom Smith has joined National League South side Welling United on loan for the 2021/22 season.
The 19 year-old goalkeeper, who signed his first professional contract with us in December 2019, has been a key figure in our development teams in recent seasons, playing an important role in our Under-18s title-winning 2018/19 campaign, keeping five clean sheets from his eight appearances.
The Arsenal Academy graduate, who made four appearances for the Under-23s in Premier League 2 last season, has also gained experience in previous loan spells with Salisbury City in the Southern League Premier Division and Dover Athletic in the National League.
