Tyrell Robinson has been sacked by Bradford City after being charged with engaging in sexual activity with a child.
The 22-year-old winger was initially arrested in August 2018 following allegations of sexual assault.
In a statement on Monday, West Yorkshire Police said: 'Tyrell Robinson, aged 22, of South Ockendon, Essex has been charged with engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a child.
'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.'
League Two Bradford, who had previously suspended Robinson, confirmed he had been sacked.
A club statement said: '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. The club will be making no further comment on the matter.'
Robinson came through Arsenal's youth academy but after turning professional in January 2015 he was released in 2017.
He had a trial at Watford but the Hornets chose not to offer him a contract.
Robinson went on to sign a one-year deal with Bradford in May 2017 where he went on to be named Bradford City's Supporters' Trust Under 23s Player of the Year after his first season.
His last game for Bradford came in the 2-0 loss to Barnsley in August 2018 as he was later suspended by the club.

and who made u the judge of these things?... who are u to define right and wrong for other people when the governing laws are clear?... I've talked about the matter at hand and who made u the determinant of what should be discussed?... u better take this ur inflated sense of importance elsewhere [byebye]

He had sex with a child accepted, but how old is the child? Is it a child who is about to turn to 18years?? Or a child of 5 or 10 years? If the so called child is of 17 - 18 year then remember the victim is also just 22 years of age. All said, footballers and all sportsmen should know that they are always on watch, genelists are all around you looking for only negative news to report about you guys. Please wise up

All those people who bash gay people won't talk now... if it was two grown men in a romantic relationship, all the comment section would be filled with judgements and how "they are the worst people on earth"... Religion has messed up a lot of people, cuz it fosters hypocrisy

Players like these just think that becoming a professional footballer means you can do anything unnoticed. Such a shame.
