Signed initially on loan from Premier League Aston Villa for the 2019-20 season, Bree emerged as one of the stars of The Great Escape following lockdown for Covid-19.
Still only 22-years-old, he had made almost 150 career appearances by the start of the 2020-21 campaign since making his debut for Barnsley at just 16.
After making 61 appearances for the Tykes, he joined the Villa Park outfit in the January transfer window of the 2016/17 campaign, but struggled to pin down a regular place in their starting line-up, joining Ipswich Town on loan for the second half of the 2018-19 season.
Most comfortable at right-back, Bree played several times at left-back for the Hatters in a first season that saw him make 42 appearances for the club.
He returned on a permanent deal on 1st September 2020 after securing his exit from Premier League Villa.
