Jason Rees

Jason was yet another youth player who came off the production line at Kenilworth Road following the recommendation of legendary scout Cyril Beech.

Born in Aberdare, Jason signed on for the Hatters in 1988 before making his League debut as a substitute in a 1-2 defeat at Everton on New Years Day 1990. A busy, aggressive midfielder, Jason did not earn a regular place in the Luton side until the Town were relegated from the top flight in 1992.

When he found himself out of the side once more Jason, by now a Welsh international, moved to Portsmouth for first team football in 1994 and finished his League career with a tour of West Country clubs Exeter and Torquay.

After spells at Tiverton and Taunton, Jason managed Ottery St Mary and Exeter Civil Service.
