Career
Te Reo was added to the Broncos' Top 25 player list in 2007 after winning his club's player of the year award in the Queensland Cup. At the beginning of the season, he was behind Shaun Berrigan and Ian Lacey for the position of hooker in the team. On the occasions that he played first-grade, he normally started the match on the interchange bench.
On 9 October 2007, the Broncos announced that they would be terminating Te Reo's contract following allegations that he, along with fellow forward Ian Lacey, assaulted a 32-year-old man in Charlotte Street, in central Brisbane, on 6 October. He has since joined the Wynnum Manly Seagulls Queensland Cup team through FOGS then was promoted to Queensland Cup, he also played against his former teammate Ian Lacey.
On November 2, 2010, the Brisbane Broncos reinstated Te Reo into their playing stocks. They are the second club (after the Sydney Roosters with Jake Friend) in recent history to reinstate a player after being sacked by the same club. However, he is yet to play a game since being reinstated.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
