EX-ARSENAL footballer Tyrell Robinson has today been charged with child sex offences.
The Bradford City star, 22, has been sacked from the club after the accusations were confirmed this afternoon.
He was arrested in August 2018, and has now been charged with "sexual activity with a child".
A West Yorkshire Police statement said: "The charge relates to an offence which is alleged to have occurred in Bradford in August 2018.
"He has also been charged with one count of making an indecent image of a child and two counts of distributing an indecent image of a child and has been summonsed to appear before Bradford magistrates on 7 April."
Robinson, of South Ockendon, Essex was suspended from the club after the arrest, but has now been let go.
Bradford City Football Club said in a statement: "Bradford City Football Club has parted company with Tyrell Robinson.
"This comes after West Yorkshire Police confirmed charges had been brought against Robinson, following his arrest in August 2018.
"Robinson has been dismissed from the remainder of his contract on grounds of committing gross misconduct.
"The club will be making no further comment on the matter."
Robinson came through Arsenal's academy and moved to West Bromwich Albion, before joining Bradford on a free transfer in August 2017.
The footballer, who can play left-back or left-wing, was earmarked for big things under manager Michael Collins.
He made 28 appearances for the club, including 13 league starts, with his final appearance in a 2-0 defeat in August 2018.
