Reid joined West Ham from Danish side Midtjylland in 2010 after starring for New Zealand at the World Cup in South Africa and made 222 appearances across all competitions during his time at the club.

The 33-year-old defender made his last competitive appearance for West Ham in March 2018 against Swansea City, when he was taken off on a stretcher after being knocked unconscious and twisting his knee.
