Career

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Reckord joined Wolverhampton Wanderers academy in December 2001 before being given a scholarships.[2] Then in 2010, Reckord signed his first professional contract at the club.[3]

In May 2011, Reckord signed a 12-month contract extension, keeping him until 2012.[4] He made his Wolves debut in a League Cup match on 23 August 2011 in a 4–0 win over his former loan club, Northampton.[5] This was to be his only appearance for the club until another League Cup tie two years later when he played his second League Cup match on 6 August 2013 in a 1-0 loss against Morecambe.[6]

After impressive loan spell at Scunthorpe United, Reckord had his contract with Wolverhampton extended for another 12 months.[7] At the end of the 2013–14 season, it was announced that his contract with Wolves would not be extended.[8]

Loan Spells

In March 2011, he gained his first senior football experience when he moved on loan for the rest of the season at League Two side Northampton Town,[9] where he made his professional debut a day before his 19th birthday in a 1–2 defeat at Chesterfield.[10] Reckford went on to make eleven appearance for Northampton Town.

On 30 January 2012, Reckord joined League One side Scunthorpe United on a month's loan, later extended for a further month.[11] Reckford made his Scunthorpe United debut on 14 February 2012, in a 1-0 win over Rochdale.[12] His four appearance at Scunthorpe United led the club extending Reckford loan spell until 31 March 2012.[13] Then on 5 April 2012, Reckord's loan spell with Scunthorpe United was extended until the end of the season.[14] The next day, Reckord then provided assist for Jon Parkin, in a 1-0 win over Exeter City.[15] Reckord went on to make seventeen appearance for the club before a shoulder injury kept him out for the rest of the season.[16]

He went out on loan again in September 2012, when he joined League One side Coventry City on an agreed 93-day emergency loan.[17] Reckord made his Coventry City debut the next day, coming on as a substitute for Billy Daniels in the 64th minutes, in a 2-1 loss against Carlisle United.[18] However with nine appearance for Coventry City, he was ultimately recalled early by his parent club after failing to get regular playing time.[19]

In September 2013, he was loaned to League Two side Plymouth Argyle for three months,[20] during which he made 16 appearances before returning to his parent club.[21]

On 25 January 2014, he again moved on loan, this time to League One Swindon Town in a three-month deal.[22] Reckord made his debut the same day, coming on as a substitute for Jay McEveley after he was injured, in a 3-1 loss against Shrewsbury Town.[23] Reckord made only three appearances for the Robins during this loan, as his first team opportunities soon became limited before returning to Wolves.[24]

Ross County

On 16 October 2014, he signed for Scottish Premiership side Ross County.[25] Weeks later until 8 November 2014, Reckord made his Ross County debut, in a 3-0 win over Kilmarnock.[26] Reckord provided two assists in two separate matches against Dundee United[27] and Motherwell.[28]

After making an impression as a left-back position, Reckord signed a 18 months contract with the club.[29] Reckord then scored his first goal, in a 1-0 win over Dundee on 28 February 2015.[30]
