Reece Styche (born 3 May 1989 in Sutton Coldfield) is a footballer, who plays for Wycombe Wanderers, on loan from Conference Premier side Forest Green Rovers.

Career

Early career

Styche came through the youth system at Hednesford Town and made his debut for the club on 28 April 2007, coming off the bench and scoring twice in a 3-2 away win over Kendal Town. A number of injury problems hampered his progress and he spent a short time out on loan at Bromsgrove Rovers in September 2008.[1] He scored once against AFC Sudbury in a four game spell with Bromsgrove.[2]

On his return to Hednesford in October 2008 he joined Grantham Town permanently after a short trial period. Four months later he left Grantham and joined Coalville Town in February 2009. He ended the 2008-09 season with Coalville but signed for Shepshed Dynamo in July 2009.[3]

In October 2009, he joined Chasetown. He scored on his debut for the club, finding the back of the net after just three minutes in an FA Trophy victory over Lincoln United.[4] His goal scoring success with the Scholars saw him find the back of the net 13 times in 15 appearances and would earn him a move away from the club as a result.

Forest Green Rovers

On 25 January 2010, Styche joined Conference National side Forest Green Rovers.[5] He made his debut the next day, on 26 January 2010, and became an instant hit, scoring twice in a 3-2 away win over Hayes & Yeading United after coming on as a substitute for Craig Rocastle.[6] In May 2010, he agreed a new contract to stay with the club for the 2010-2011 season.[7] He ended the 2010-11 campaign as the club's top goal scorer with 16 goals. His fine goal scoring form earned him a call up to the England C squad for the final of the International Challenge Trophy against the Portugal under 23 side.[8] He appeared as a substitute in the final at Sixfields Stadium but couldn't prevent England C from suffering a 1-0 defeat.[9]

In August 2011, he was the subject of a five figure bid from league rivals Luton Town believed to be in the region of £75,000.[10] The bid was refused by Forest Green and he signed a new three-year contract to remain at The New Lawn on 26 August 2011.[11] In October 2011, having found the back of the net six times in nine appearances, he suffered a knee injury which ruled him out for the majority of the 2011-12 season.[12] He returned to first team action towards the end of the season and began the 2012-13 season with a first goal against AFC Telford United which was followed up by a last minute penalty at Gateshead which secured a 1-1 draw.[13]

In February 2013, he suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament injury in a home match with Wrexham which required surgery and ruled him out for eight months.[14] He returned from injury in October 2013 and scored his first goal of the 2013-14 season in a 6-2 away win over Hyde on 18 January 2014.[15]

Wycombe Wanderers

In January 2014, he joined League Two side Wycombe Wanderers on loan until the end of the season with a view to a permanent move.[16] He made his debut against Mansfield Town and was replaced after playing 69 minutes in his first game in the Football League.[17]

International

In 2010, Styche received a call up to the England C squad where he made his debut in the 2009–11 International Challenge Trophy final against Portugal U23 on 19 May 2011.[18][19] In January of 2014, head coach Allen Bula named Styche as a player on his radar who could play with the Gibraltar national football team in the near future.[20] On 11 February 2014, Styche was called up to the Gibraltar national squad for friendlies against Faroe Islands and Estonia. He qualifies to play for Gibraltar through his grandmother.[21][22][23][24]
