Swinton Lions

Swinton Lions have signed legend Lee Briers’ son Reece Briers as they aim to rebuild their squad ahead of the 2025 season.

The Lions who were relegated to League One, and have made it their mission to try and rebuild their squad before the 2025 season gets underway.

The club so far have made some impressive signings, and have excited fans with some new talent.

And with two additional new signings being announced for the team in the last 24 hours, Tommy Porter and the returning George Roby they look to impress next season.

But the addition of the 21-year-old looks to excite fans, as Reece Briers is following in his fathers footsteps after being signed as the teams newest goal-kicker.

Following the signing, he expressed that he is “Looking forward to getting started”

And continued: “I can’t wait to get around the boys at Swinton and rip in.”

Briers previously played in the League one back in 2022 for the North Wales Crusader’s before heading to Australia with his dad, where he played for both North Devils and the West Brisbane Panthers.

Both Reece and Lee Briers made their return to the UK recently after Lee took up a coaching role with Super League team, St Helens.

But for the progress of his career,ย Reece will have big shoes to fill following his fathers impressive goal kicking career.

Lee spent the majority of his career at Warrington Wolves, playing 425 games and racking up a club-record of 2,586 points.

Reece Briers will be coached by his father’s former Warrington team-mate Paul Wood, who was recently brought in as head coach for the Lions.

The Lions will hope Reece, and their other new additions, can play their part in a positive League One campaign after last season’s relegation.
