Craig Reid Biography

Craig Reid is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on December 17, 1985 in Coventry, Coventry, United Kingdom. Craig Kevin Reid (born 17 December 1985) is an English footballer who plays as a striker. Reid started his career at Coventry City’s youth academy in 2000, spending two years at the club before opting to join Ipswich Town in 2002. He spent two years at Ipswich, and then returned to Coventry, under a professional contract, in 2004. During his time at Coventry, Reid spent a month on loan at Conference National club Tamworth in March 2006. He was released by Coventry at the end of the 2005–06 season having not made a first-team appearance for his hometown club. In January 2007, Reid signed for Cheltenham Town and spent a year-and-a-half there before being released by the club in May 2008.

Reid signed for Conference Premier club Grays Athletic on a short-term deal in August 2008, before being loaned out to Newport County. Reid joined Newport on a permanent basis. He was the club’s top goalscorer for three consecutive seasons, and helped Newport to promotion to the Conference Premier during the club’s successful 2009–10 campaign. In January 2011, Reid signed for Stevenage for a fee of £90,000, making him the club’s record signing. He helped the club earn promotion to League One during the 2010–11 season. In July 2012, Reid joined Aldershot Town for an undisclosed fee.

Reid started the first competitive game of the 2011–12 campaign, on 6 August 2011, playing 70 minutes in a 0–0 draw at home to Exeter City, before being substituted for Byron Harrison. On his next appearance, ten days later, he scored the first goal in a 3–1 away victory against Bournemouth. Reid scored twice for Stevenage in a 4–2 home win against Rochdale on 3 September. His first goal, from Lawrie Wilson’s knockdown, opened the scoring, and his second – Stevenage’s fourth – was widely reported as a Neal Trotman own goal, although it was attributed by Stevenage’s website to Reid, who “managed to nip between the two defenders and just poke the ball into the net”. His fourth goal in five games was Stevenage’s first in a 5–1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday on 13 September 2011; he reacted quickest to a parried Michael Bostwick shot and scored from six yards out. He suffered a groin injury in November 2011 which required surgery, and he had a successful operation in January 2012. Reid returned to first-team action on 28 February, after three- and-a-half months out; he played the first 74 minutes of a 2–2 draw with Huddersfield Town. Reid went on to score goals in home victories against Brentford and Bury, with the latter strike coming in a 3–0 win that ultimately secured Stevenage’s place in the play-offs. He made 34 appearances during the season, scoring seven times, as Stevenage narrowly lost in the play-off semi- finals. During his one-and-a-half-year spell at Stevenage, Reid made 57 appearances in all competitions, scoring eight times.

Reid signed for League Two club Stevenage for an initial undisclosed fee on 31 January 2011; the fee was a record for both clubs, and Stevenage later stated that they paid £90,000 for the player. As part of the deal, Stevenage strikers Charlie Griffin and Yemi Odubade joined Newport on loan. Reid made his Stevenage debut in a 2–2 home draw with Accrington Stanley on 5 February 2011. He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 away win against Oxford United on 15 March, running onto Rob Sinclair’s through pass to give Stevenage the three points. On the final day of the regular season, Reid scored Stevenage’s second goal from the penalty spot in a 3–3 draw with Bury; the draw meant that Stevenage reached the play-offs thanks to a sixth-place finish. Reid started in all three of Stevenage’s play-off games, including in the Final at Old Trafford against Torquay United, which Stevenage won 1–0 to gain promotion to League One. Reid made 23 appearances for Stevenage during the second half of the 2010–11 season, scoring twice.

In January 2007, Reid signed for Cheltenham Town on a free transfer, signing a rolling monthly contract. He made his Cheltenham debut on 13 January, coming on as a 76th-minute substitute in the club’s 2–0 away loss at Huddersfield Town. He made a further five appearances for the club towards the latter stages of the 2006–07 campaign. In July 2007, Reid signed for Cheltenham on a permanent basis. He made a late substitute appearance in Cheltenham’s first game of the 2007–08 season, playing three minutes in a 1–0 home win over Gillingham. Reid scored his first professional goal in Cheltenham’s 3–1 away win against Swindon Town in the Football League Trophy. He made 12 appearances for Cheltenham during the 2007–08 season, scoring one goal. Reid was released by Cheltenham on 6 May 2008, having made 18 appearances for the club. Reid signed for Conference Premier club Grays Athletic on a one-year deal in August 2008, making his debut in a 1–0 home loss to Eastbourne Borough. He made two further appearances for Grays, before joining Conference South club Newport County on loan on 25 September 2008.
