Jernade Meade

Arsenal

Meade was born in Luton, England, and started his career with Sunday league side Bramingham FC. He joined Arsenal in August 2004 at the age of eleven. He started off initially as a left winger before moving into a more defensive role as a left back. During the 2011–12 season he made nineteen appearances for the reserve side, with only Oğuzhan Özyakup and Martin Angha appearing more. In the same season he also appeared on the bench as an unused substitute for Arsenal's first team against Bolton Wanderers in a League Cup fixture. Meade featured in pre-season friendly matches in advance of the 2012–13 season, including a game against Premier League opposition Southampton. After eight years with the club, he made his first team debut in a dramatic 7–5 extra time victory against Reading in the League Cup fourth round. Meade entered the match as a substitute, replacing the injured Ignasi Miquel in the 105th minute. In the process, he became the 811th player to have played for Arsenal. On 4 December 2012, Meade made his first start for Arsenal in a Champions League game against Olympiacos, where he was deployed at left back. The match ended in a 2–1 defeat for Arsenal with Meade being replaced late on by Martin Angha. His contract with Arsenal expired at the end of 2012–13 season and, on 20 May 2013, it was announced that Meade would not be offered a new contract and would be released to find another club.
