Chilean youth international goalkeeper, Vicente Reyes, has signed a short-term deal with Essex club, Braintree Town, keeping him at the team until November 9. Reyes had previously joined Braintree from American club Atlanta United in the summer and has been training with the club’s first-team under the guidance of manager David Wagner. However, the young goalkeeper has struggled and made several errors leading to goals for the club’s under-21 side.
Despite his recent struggles, Reyes was given the opportunity to start his first game for Braintree in the FA Cup qualifying clash against Chesham United. The young goalkeeper put in an impressive performance, keeping a clean sheet in a goalless draw. This was a positive sign for Reyes and a chance for him to showcase his abilities on a bigger stage.
Reyes is not the only young player at Braintree, as he is joined by fellow City youngster Ben Watt, who also moved to the club on loan this summer. The sixth-tier club provides an opportunity for these young players to gain valuable experience and develop their skills in a competitive environment.
Overall, Reyes’ short-term deal with Braintree Town presents an important opportunity for his development as a goalkeeper. Despite his previous errors at the club’s under-21 level, he showed promise in his first game for the first team, keeping a clean sheet. Alongside Ben Watt, Reyes will have the chance to continue his growth as a player and contribute to the success of the team in the coming months.
