James bree scores with outstanding strike for barnsley academy
Barnsley

Bree began his career with Barnsley and made his professional debut on 3 May 2014 in a 3–2 defeat against Queens Park Rangers becoming the club's second youngest debutant. Bree helped Barnsley earn promotion to the Championship with his form during the 2015/16 season.

Stepping up to the Championship with ease, Bree attracted the attention of wealthier clubs with his impressive attacking displays from the right-back position, earning comparisons to former Academy teammates John Stones and Mason Holgate. Despite speculation linking Bree with Aston Villa on the 21 January 2017, Bree helped Barnsley to a 3-2 victory against Leeds United. This was to be his last game for the club.
Aston Villa

On 25 January 2017, Bree signed a four and a half year deal with Aston Villa, for an undisclosed fee described by Barnsley as "substantial". A day later, Barnsley teammate Conor Hourihane joined him at Villa Park by signing a three-and-half-year-deal.
