Amateur career
Reid played for Ayr. [3]
In 2021 Reid joined Marr. He scored a try on his debut on 4 September 2021. [4]
Professional career
Reid has played over 100 times for the Glasgow Warriors. [5]
After 7 years at Glasgow Warriors Reid departed the club when his contract expired in the summer of 2017. [6]
On 1 June 2017 it was announced he had signed for newly promoted London Irish in the English Premiership. [7]
For the start of the 2019–20 season it was announced that Reid would join the Super 6 side, the Ayrshire Bulls. [8]

Reid was called into the Scotland squad for the first time during the 2012 end-of-year rugby union tests and made an appearance on the substitute's bench against Tonga on 24 November, however he did not make it onto the field for his international debut. [13] [14] Reid made his Scotland debut v USA on the 2014 tour, and was a member of the Scotland Squad at the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
