[citation needed] He then added when asked "who is the most inspirational player or person on your career and how have they positively affected your football?", he responded "My brother – he's always on my back telling me to do extras and pushing me to be the best I can be." Reynolds graduated to the Rabbitohs' under-20s team and in the 2010 Toyota Cup season he was one of the leading lights in the South Sydney side that went to the Grand Final. In the 2011 pre-season he suffered a season-ending ACL injury to his left knee. [citation needed]
