Grego-Cox, who has featured regularly up front for Noel King’s Ireland U21 side in recent times, began his career with QPR, making his debut for the side as a teenager in the Premier League towards the end of the 2014-15 season.
Since then, however, he found first-team opportunities hard to come by at Loftus Road and left to join National League outfit Woking last season.
And following four goals in 18 appearances for the non-league outfit, the 21-year-old has moved up a division ahead of the coming campaign, signing a two-year contract after impressing on trial.
“Reece has really done well since he joined us for pre-season and we think he’s got a lot to offer,” Kewell said. “He works hard, he can play in different attacking roles and I like his hunger to make the most of this opportunity.”
