Ömer Riza's only appearance for Arsenal was as an added time substitute in a Worthington Cup tie at Derby County in October 1998.
After beginning 2000-01 with West Ham United's reserves, Ömer joined Barnet on loan in October and made a huge impact with the Third Division club.
The Bees were keen to make the transfer a permanent one but no deal could be agreed and he returned to Upton Park.
He was loaned out again to Cambridge United in March and, after scoring on his debut against Oldham Athletic, he became an instant hit with the Us fans.
Ömer is an exciting right-sided striker with blistering pace and a great eye for goal.
He completed a permanent move to Cambridge United in August 2002 on a one-year contract.
On its completion, he joined Turkish club Denizlispor in a two-year deal.
Ömer's contract at Shrewsbury Town was extended to June 2010 in June 2009 but was cancelled in January 2010.
He joined Aldershot Town in February 2010 with a contract to June 2010.
