Reigan, the younger of the siblings at 17, is described as a “tricky, clinical winger” on City’s website, while Jaden, two years older, is seen as a “mature, hard-working” box-to-box midfielder.
The pair have been regulars in City’s academy sides, with both brothers joining the youth set-up at the age of eight.
Jaden, who regularly captains City’s U21 side, scored as City beat Leeds 4-0 to lift the FA Youth Cup in 2024.
Despite playing in different positions, father Emile says the pair have similar qualities.
“They’re similar to me,” Heskey told the Mail, external in August. “They are both very athletic.
“The young one is very quick. The older one is a bit of a beast like I was.
“They’ve both got similar attributes.”
Against Huddersfield, Jaden got 14 minutes, replacing fellow academy graduate Nico O’Reilly, with Reigan coming on for Savinho shortly after.
The pair attracted interest from a number of clubs in England from a young age but City were seen as the best for their development.
“I’ve been lucky in a sense that they’re arguably one of the best, if not the best academy [City] to be at for development,” Emile said in 2024.
“So you just leave them and let them enjoy that journey.
“And then obviously getting into first-team football, well, under-21s football and then first-team football, it’s a little bit different and they’ll probably need a bit of guidance then.”
