A Piece Of Reece
Tian Yonghang signalled that his latest recruitment spree was coming to an end, as he picked up 19 year-old Welsh forward
Joe Reece, from Danish Division Six club FC De Heste. The S$3.2 million buy had spent only twelve weeks in Denmark, but that was sufficient to nearly double his previous fee, when he moved there from Welsh H.A.L side CPD Trelales 2nds, that rescued an unsuccessful stint in Iceland with now-failed outfit Óvættir.
One of Dragonbreath FC's final products before their dissolution, Reece's most striking feature has to be his considerable height, with few of his contemporaries able to get close to his 1.9m frame on headers. This drew a short bidding war between just-demoted Romanian Liga I club Rapid and ambitious Dutch VI.238 risers Sportclub Charley, before Italian Division Seven side Cavriago Team looked to have taken the lead. Tian turned on the charm while opening the pocketbook, however, and Reece was in.
The new Number Thirteen declared himself more than happy to be a part of this Grilled rebuilding project. "There's a lot of young faces here, and plenty of positive energy. Let's go!"
