Club career
Youth career
Reece Devine was born on 18 December 2001 in Stourbridge, England, where his local upbringing in the West Midlands region sparked an early interest in football, leading him to join the youth setup of his hometown club, Stourbridge FC.[1][12] As a promising young prospect, Devine progressed to the Wolverhampton Wanderers academy, honing his skills as a defender in a competitive environment before making a move to Manchester City in July 2016.[13][14] At Manchester City, he featured for the U16 and U18 teams over the next two years, developing his game until the end of the 2017-18 season, after which his contract expired.[1][15] In August 2018, at the age of 16, Devine signed as a first-year scholar with Manchester United's academy, transitioning to a higher level of competition where he primarily played as a left-back for the youth sides.[16][17]Manchester United
Reece Devine signed a professional contract with Manchester United in 2020 after progressing through the club's academy, having joined from Manchester City two years earlier.[18] During his tenure from 2020 to 2022, he trained and featured primarily with the under-23 team in the Premier League 2, establishing himself as a left-back in the youth setup.[1] Despite his development in the academy, Devine did not make any appearances for Manchester United's first team in any competition.[7] He was later sent on loan to lower-league clubs to gain senior experience.[19]St Johnstone (loan)
In July 2021, Reece Devine joined St Johnstone on a season-long loan from Manchester United, which ultimately lasted until December 2021.[19][20] The move provided the 19-year-old left-back with his first opportunity for regular senior football in the Scottish Premiership, following time in Manchester United's youth and reserve teams.[21] Devine made his senior debut on 31 July 2021, starting at left-back in St Johnstone's 0–0 draw away to Ross County.[22] During the match, he impressed with his composure and contributed offensively by winning a penalty kick, which unfortunately was missed by teammate Ali McCann.[23] His performance earned him the Man of the Match award, highlighting his immediate impact despite it being his first competitive outing at professional level.[22] St Johnstone manager Callum Davidson praised Devine's display, noting his "ability" and "pace," which made him "a threat" from the left flank.[23] Over the course of the loan, Devine made six appearances in the Scottish Premiership, featuring both as a starter and substitute primarily in defensive roles at left-back. He faced adaptation challenges in transitioning to the physicality of Scottish top-flight football, which he described as "a lot more physical compared to reserve team football."[24] Despite this, Devine reported steady improvement, stating he was "getting fitter and stronger every day," while coaches commended his attacking contributions and work ethic from the full-back position.[24][25]Walsall (loan)
On 28 January 2022, Reece Devine joined Walsall on a loan from Manchester United that lasted until the end of the 2021–22 season, allowing the 20-year-old left-back to gain experience in English League Two.[26] He made his debut just one day later, starting in a 0–1 away defeat to Scunthorpe United, where he played the full match as left-back.[27] During his spell, Devine featured in eight League Two appearances, primarily operating as a left-back with occasional forward runs to support attacks, though he recorded no goals or assists.[5] One notable performance came on 12 February 2022, when he completed 90 minutes in Walsall's 1–0 home victory over Tranmere Rovers, delivering a solid defensive showing that contributed to a crucial clean sheet and helped alleviate the team's relegation concerns amid a managerial change.[28][29] Devine's integration was hampered by minor injuries that sidelined him for approximately two months, preventing consistent starts and full adaptation to the squad under interim and subsequent management.[30] He returned to full training in early April 2022 but made no further competitive appearances before the loan concluded.[31] Upon returning to Manchester United at the end of the season, Devine was released by the club.Swindon Town
Reece Devine signed for Swindon Town on a free transfer in July 2022, agreeing to a two-year contract after his release from Manchester United.[13][7] Head coach Scott Lindsey highlighted Devine's attacking qualities, stating that his "ability to attack and get forward will enhance our creativity edge" and expressing excitement about his development.[13] Over the 2022–23 and 2023–24 seasons, Devine made just two senior appearances in League Two, largely due to intense competition for the left-back role and a series of hamstring injuries.[11][8] He suffered a significant hamstring tear in March 2023 during a match against Leyton Orient, which sidelined him for up to four months, followed by another serious tear in July 2023 during pre-season against Swansea City, requiring potential surgery and further absence.[32][33][34] Devine continued to participate in training sessions and occasionally took up bench roles, but his opportunities remained limited amid the squad's depth at left-back.[35] Devine's contract expired in June 2024, resulting in his release as part of Swindon Town's end-of-season retained list, after a tenure marked by underwhelming first-team output.[36] He subsequently joined non-league club Kidderminster Harriers.[37]Kidderminster Harriers
In August 2024, Reece Devine signed with National League North club Kidderminster Harriers on a free transfer following a successful trial during pre-season, having experienced limited playing time at Swindon Town the previous year.[37] He was assigned the squad number 5 for the 2024–25 season.[38] Devine, a left-back known for his forward-thinking play, quickly integrated into the team and expressed enthusiasm about regaining consistent opportunities to prove himself.[37] During the 2024–25 campaign, Devine made 43 appearances (34 starts), contributing 3 goals and showcasing defensive solidity alongside his attacking contributions from the left flank.[2] Notable performances included scoring in an FA Trophy victory over Halesowen Town, which highlighted his growing influence in cup competitions.[10] Kidderminster finished 3rd in the National League North with 89 points and reached the play-off semi-finals, where they lost 1–2 to Chester, missing out on promotion.[39][40] In an August 2025 interview, Devine reflected on rediscovering his passion for the game amid this revival at a lower tier.[41] In December 2024, Devine extended his contract with Harriers until the summer of 2026, rewarding his impact despite a mid-season injury that sidelined him briefly.[10] Manager Phil Brown praised his work ethic, stating, "When you get rewarded with new contracts, it’s because you’ve been doing a good job. I think he can play at a higher level."[10] As of November 2025, in the 2025–26 National League North season, Devine has featured in 11 matches, scoring 1 goal, as of November 2025.[42][5] He has since switched to squad number 3.[43]International career
England U16
Devine received his first call-up to the England under-16 squad in October 2016 while in Manchester City's youth academy.[44] During the international friendlies that month, he was named on the bench for the 2–1 win against the United States under-16s on 25 October but did not feature.[44] He then started both subsequent matches, playing 80 minutes as a left-back in the 1–0 victory over France under-16s on 27 October and another 80 minutes as a centre-back in the 0–3 loss against Russia under-16s on 29 October.[44] These appearances earned Devine two caps at under-16 level, during which he provided defensive contributions without scoring.[44] The experience under coach Dan Micciche highlighted his versatility across the backline in youth internationals.[44] Devine did not progress to higher England youth teams such as under-17 or under-18.[44]Senior international career
As a native-born English player from Stourbridge, Reece Devine is eligible solely for the senior England national team.[1] Devine has not earned any senior international caps as of November 2025, primarily due to his limited exposure at the senior professional level and the intense competition for left-back positions from established players such as Luke Shaw and Ben Chilwell.[1] His progression through England's youth ranks stalled after limited appearances at under-16 level, with no subsequent call-ups to higher youth teams like under-18, under-19, or under-21 squads, preventing any pathway to senior consideration. In December 2024, Devine signed a contract extension with Kidderminster Harriers until 2026.[10] As of November 2025, in the 2025/26 National League North season, he has made 13 appearances, contributing to three clean sheets.[45][46]Career statistics
