Steve Bould has officially left Arsenal after 33 years at the club.

The former Gunners defender was let go from his role as U23 coach amid a restructure of the club's academy set-up.

"Steve has been a fantastic servant for us on and off the pitch," Arsenal academy manager Per Mertesacker said in a statement.

"His record as a player speaks for itself and he has been an inspiration to generations of young players coming through the academy.

"This has been a very hard decision to make. Steve's contribution to the under-23s and the club as a whole has been huge and he will always be an important figure in our history."
