The 32-year-old current Gibraltarian international is a hard-working forward who likes to play on the shoulder of the last defender and look to get in behind down the channels.

The much-travelled striker started out in the youth system at Hednesford Town before making his first team debut for the Pitmen in April 2007.

Spells followed with the likes of Grantham Town, Coalville Town and Shepshed Dynamo before a move to Chasetown in October 2009 saw his playing career really take off. Thirteen goals in fifteen appearances brought him to the attention of then Conference Premier outfit Forest Green Rovers and he signed for the Gloucestershire club in January 2010.

He spent the next four years at Forest Green, although a ruptured ACL in February 2013 put him on the side-lines for around eight months.

In January 2014 he joined Wycombe Wanderers on loan for the remainder of the 2012/13 season before he was released by Forest Green at the end of that season.

In the summer of 2014 he signed a 2-year deal with Kidderminster Harriers, however the move didn't really work out. In October 2014 he was loaned out to Tamworth and he ended up spending most of the remainder of the season with the Lambs.

He started the following season back at Kidderminster before linking up with Macclesfield Town, initially on loan, towards the end of October 2015.

In May 2016 he signed for Gateshead before he moved to Tamworth in January 2017.

In November 2017 Reece was transferred to Darlington for an undisclosed fee and he became something of a cult figure there with 18 goals in 33 appearances before he was sold to Alfreton Town in October 2018.

In May 209 he signed for Hereford FC before moving on again to Bromsgrove Sporting in February 2020, but he made only one appearance for the Rouslers before the covid-19 pandemic brought a premature end to the season.

He agreed a move to Buxton FC for the 2020/21 season that proved to be a short-lived affair and then in May 2021 he returned to Hednesford for a second stint.

Reece has featured for Gibraltar in both UEFA Euro qualifiers and FIFA World Cup qualifiers and has apparently attracted the nickname of 'Brutus' by fans in Gibraltar after it was given to him by head coach Julio Cesar Ribas!

NICK CLAYTON-PHILLIPS DEPARTS

NCP has completed a move to our league rivals Alvechurch FC where he renews acquaintances with a few of his former WBA academy team-mates.

Nick made six appearances (5 + 1 sub) during his short spell with the club and netted once in the 8 - 4 defeat at Peterborough Sports a month ago.

We wish him well for the future!

As some of you will already be aware, as non-contract players, Miracle Okafor and Darragh Bustin have ‘dual registered’ with other clubs lower down the NLS, signing for Racing Club Warwick and Tividale respectively in the Midland Football League Premier Division. We continue to hold their Southern League registration.
