Reekers was born at Christchurch in 1973 and educated at St Thomas of Canterbury College in the city.^[2] He played age-group cricket for Canterbury from the 1991–92 season before making his senior debut for the provincial side in a December 1994 List A match against Auckland. He played for the side eight times during 1994–95 and twice the following season, before moving to Otago for a single season in 1997–98, making 10 List A and three first-class appearances, the only domestic first-class matches of his career.^[3]

After returning to play for Canterbury from the 1999–2000 season, Reekers first played for the Netherlands national cricket team against Norfolk in the C&G Trophy on 29 August 2001.
