He has played for the Queensland Roar in the A-League competition,[1] and in the National Soccer League for Brisbane Strikers and Newcastle Breakers.
Reece was signed by the Brisbane Strikers FC in the National Soccer League at the age of 17 after a successful two-year stint with the Queensland Academy of Sport, in which he won the NYL top goalscorer award with 23 goals in just 18 appearances.
In early 1998, whilst contracted to the Strikers, Reece transferred on loan to the Newcastle Breakers for the final 9 games of the season.
Reece returned to his hometown and the Strikers the next season with the Newcastle Breakers coach John Kosmina.
Reece suffered multiple facial fractures in a head clash in only his third game of the inaugural A-League season whilst playing for the Roar and was forced to miss the remainder of the season, undergoing two facial reconstructions.
