| Reece James |
Date of birth: 8 December 1999
Place of birth: London
Position: Defender/Midfielder
International levels played at: England U19s, U18s
Trophies won at Chelsea: FA Youth Cup 2016/17; U18 Premier League 2016/17
Reece James is a graduate of our development centre programme and has been training with us since the age of six. He started out mostly as a striker before moving further back into midfield and defence. A right-footed player, he made his youth team debut while still a schoolboy in 2015/16 before becoming a key figure in our Treble-winning Under-18 season the following year.
His versatility was a key attribute as he featured at right-back, wing-back and in a central defensive back three throughout the campaign, playing in every game as the Youth Cup was successfully retained and scoring a brilliant header in the semi-final at White Hart Lane.
In March 2017, James signed a first professional contract at the club which runs until the end of the 2018/19 campaign, before helping England to triumph at the Toulon Tournament in the summer.
