Reice Jordan Charles-Cook (born 8 April 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for USL Championship club Indy Eleven.
Charles-Cook began his career at Arsenal, and enjoyed a loan spell at non-league Chelmsford City in February 2013, before signing with Bury five months later.
Born and raised in Forest Hill, Lewisham, London, Reice-Cook became a goalkeeper after being diagnosed with a heart murmur as a child, which would have been potentially dangerous to an outfield player.
[8] After a trial at Bristol City, he signed a one-year contract with Bury on 14 July 2013; "Shakers" boss Kevin Blackwell commented that "we haven't got a young goalkeeper and Reice fits the bill".
There are not many keeper coaches in the game with a better track record; the opportunity for Reice to be working full-time with Fred is an incredible one for him, and so we were all delighted to grab at it when it arose".
On 18 July 2014, Charles-Cook signed a one-year deal with League One club Coventry City, with an option for a second year, after impressing goalkeeping coach Steve Ogrizovic on trial with his athleticism.
[17] 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.
[19] Following an illness to Lee Burge, Charles-Cook made his league debut for Coventry at the Ricoh Arena in a 3–0 victory over Shrewsbury Town on 3 October.
[32] He held on to his first-team place following Vigouroux's return, as manager David Flitcroft felt his "all-round game has been fantastic and he fully deserves to keep his position".
[33] However his place at the County Ground was questioned after he conceded a number of late goals in February, which led to him being defended by caretaker manager Matt Taylor.
[8] On 4 October 2018, he joined Danish Superliga side SønderjyskE on a deal until the end of the year; he was signed to provide competition for experienced German goalkeeper Sebastian Mielitz.
Charles-Cook signed for League Two side Macclesfield Town on a one-year deal on 9 August 2019;[40] six days before manager Sol Campbell departed to Southend United.
[41][42] Ironically though, new manager Mark Kennedy signed Jonathan Mitchell on loan from Derby County, who again kept Charles-Cook stuck on the bench.
