Hall was a standout in Albion's PL2 team during the 2023/24 season. 

He became the U21s' captain that term and showed his ability both defending and breaking the opposition's press, producing several driving runs through the field and setting his team-mates on attacks. Reece is an exciting prospect who will be hoping for more of the same during another year at The Hawthorns. 

Hall saw his contract extended by the club at the end of a progressive 23/24 campaign - a just reward for his performances and overall improvement during a year which also included a first loan experience for the versatile defender. He joined non-league side Hereford in December 2023, boosting his insight into senior football. 

Reece has continued to quietly, but effectively develop his defensive attributes since signing on at The Hawthorns as a schoolboy - which was showcased when he became captain of Albion's PL2 team during the 23/24 campaign.

This culminated in the defender earning his professional contract, which he signed during the summer of 2022. 

Most recently, the academy prospect has become a regular in the PL2 team and grasped training opportunities under head coach Carlos Corberán since his arrival at the club.

Hall, who grew up in Kings Norton, has been used in the heart of defence, at right-back or in the midfield during his footballing education with the Baggies - which began as an eight-year-old. 

Reece has consistently brought on his game during the first year of his scholarship, and he enjoyed an unselfish role in helping Albion progress in the 2021 FA Youth Cup.

After coming off the bench in the second half of the Baggies’ triumph over Tottenham Hotspur in the fifth round of the competition, Hall put an inch-perfect cross onto fellow substitute Sammy Okoka’s head to cap off an unforgettable experience in the youngster’s development as an Albion player. 

And although his final year as a scholar was majorly affected by injuries, with the defender making just 10 appearances for the U18s, Hall went one step further in a different prestigious tournament after he was drafted in to help Albion's Under-21s win the PL Cup.

Reece started and helped Richard Beale's men beat 21/22 PL2 Division 2 champions Fulham in the semi-final, before playing in the Final where the young Baggies defeated Wolves 5-4 on penalties after drawing 2-2 in regular time.
