Ronnie Rees (born 4 April 1944) is a former Welsh international footballer. He played predominantly as a winger and was able to play down either flank.
Rees was a graduate of the Coventry City youth team, and was given his debut for the senior team by Jimmy Hill in May 1962.[2] Rees spent six years at Highfield Road, helping Coventry gain promotion from Division Three to Division One.[3]
Rees left Coventry to join West Bromwich Albion for a fee of £65,000 in March 1968.[3] He spent less than a year at the club, joining Nottingham Forest in February 1969 for £60,000.[3]
Swansea City manager Roy Bentley paid Forest a club-record £26,000 for Rees in January 1972. Rees spent three-and-a-half seasons with Swansea before joining Haverfordwest of the League of Wales in August 1975.[3]
Following his retirement from professional football, Rees worked at the Ford motorworks in Swansea and Bridgend. He was forced to retire in 1995, at the age of 51, after suffering a major stroke that took his ability to walk and talk.[4] He is now a resident at Hengoed Court Care Home, Swansea.[5]
