Reece has also publicly acknowledged and expressed gratitude for his family‘s significant contribution to his career development, saying:
My dad would be the one catching my passes. I remember breaking his finger a couple of times from him just catching footballs for me. And my two brothers were always helping me and supporting me.They’ve all just been incredible – from my two brothers to my mom and my dad. It was a crazy four years to say the least. To be at the end of it is bittersweet, and all the success I had – not just myself but all my teams – it reflects on them.
