Pre-Chelsea career

Reece joined Chelsea as an eight-year old.

Chelsea career

Reece made his Under-18 debut against West Ham United in March 2016 and quickly grew into a steady, reliable and unflappable presence in Jody Morris' youth team as a first-year scholar, missing just two matches en route to a treble success. He began the season as a right winger before settling into a full-back or wing-back role, and slotted comfortably into a Cesar Azpilicueta-esque centre-back position as the big games came late in the campaign.

A regular in the Development Squad in 2017-18, he also captained the Under-18s to a record fifth successive FA Youth Cup triumph whilst earning himself the club's Young Player of the Season award. In June 2018 he signed a new four-year contract and joined Wigan Athletic on loan. There, he was outstanding in every way, earning a clean sweep of club awards, proving himself in both defence and midfield, and earning a return to Chelsea and a promotion to the first-team squad. An ankle injury suffered in the Toulon Tournament set his debut back to September, but he subsequently earned himself a regular spot in manager Frank Lampard's plans.

International

Reece has represented England at every level up to Under-21, earning his first caps during April 2017's Under-18 tour to the Middle East, before then winning both the European Under-19 Championship and the Toulon Tournament later that summer.
