A fast and energetic instinctive finisher, Rhys scored an incredible 17 goals in just 21 games for the Under-18s last season.
The highlight was a remarkable purple patch which saw him bag a brace in five consecutive matches. The former Wimbledon youngster's performances at Under-18 level earned him two substitute appearances for Neil Banfield's Reserves. Rhys, who was promoted a year at his Brighton school to allow him to balance his schoolwork and training with Arsenal, will be hoping for more second-string chances in the season ahead. |

Few strikers in the current Arsenal set-up are as clinical as Rhys. And, despite a series of injuries last season, the England youth international ?:| once again proved his caliber in front of goal with a clutch of vital goals for the Under-18s.
First he bagged an instinctive brace in the Gunners FA Youth Cup Third Round victory over Aston Villa. Then, in his first appearance after a seven-week injury lay-off, Rhys plundered a sublime third in Arsenals 3-1 Quarter-Final victory over Tottenham. More injuries were forthcoming but again his return was explosive, hitting winning goals in the Premier Academy League Semi-Final and Final. His subtle stealth and natural prowess in and around the penalty area ensure a fully fit Rhys will be among the goals this season |
