Career
Youth and sevens
Reilly made his debut just one year out of the rugby nursery of St Joseph's College, Hunters Hill. The 19-year-old impressed coach Tim Walsh in his second world series cap in London,[2] scoring three tries in just two games, before getting injured before his remaining games. In 2017, Reilly played for the Australian Youth Rugby Sevens team who finished third in the World youth all schools tournament which was played in New Zealand,[3] where he scored 5 tries.
Reilly made his debut for the Australian sevens team in April 2018.[4]
Rugby League
2022–2023
In 2022, Reilly joined Western Suburbs in the NSW Cup. In round 25 of the 2023 NRL season, Reilly made his first grade debut for the Wests Tigers against the Dolphins. Reilly played two further games for the club as they finished the year with the Wooden Spoon. On 21 November, it was announced by the Wests Tigers that they had released Reilly after he was not offered a new contract.[5]
Brumbies
In mid-July 2026, Reilly was one of several Waratahs-contracted players that were confirmed to have departed the club in the off-season.[6] Reilly, who had two separate stints with the Waratahs, was reportedly close to signing for the ACT Brumbies in Canberra, a local rival of the Waratahs. On 16 July 2026, the ACT Brumbies confirmed they had signed Reilly on a two-year deal ahead of the 2027 season.[7]
