Sevu Reece (born 13 February 1997) is a Fijian rugby union player who currently plays as a wing for Waikato in New Zealand's domestic Mitre 10 Cup.[1]

Early Career

Born and raised in Fiji, Reece moved to New Zealand in 2014 and attended Hamilton Boys' High School where he played first XV rugby. After graduating high school, local Waikato club, Melville, signed him up on a development contract. 2016 saw him finish as the club's top points scorer as they lifted the Breweries Shield for the first time in 35 years.[2]

Excellent performances as a centre and outside back for Melville saw him called up to the Waikato squad for the 2016 Mitre 10 Cup. He debuted in a Ranfurly Shield defense against Thames Valley on 6 June 2016 and went on to make 12 Ranfurly Shield and Mitre 10 Cup appearances during the season, scoring 7 tries in the process.[1][3]
