Jayden Reid (English footballer)

Jayden Andrew Reid (born 22 April 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger or forward for Veikkausliiga club IFK Mariehamn.

[10][11] The club took their one-year option on his contract,[10] and when the 2019–20 EFL Championship season resumed after its suspension because of the COVID-19 pandemic, he was named among nine substitutes for Birmingham's first match under the temporary rules, on 20 June away at West Bromwich Albion, but remained unused.

[12] He made his senior debut on 8 July, at home to his former club Swansea City, replacing Jérémie Bela after 77 minutes with his team 3–1 down, which was the final score.

[13] Reid had no involvement in Birmingham's matchday squad under new head coach Aitor Karanka, who thought he would benefit from greater experience of competitive football, so on 16 October 2020, he joined League Two club Barrow on loan until 3 January 2021.

Walsall's manager, Brian Dutton, said that Reid was "frustrated that he'd not had enough minutes and he felt that he would stand a better chance of earning a contract somewhere else next season, whether that's with Birmingham or another club.

[22][23] He regained fitness only to injure a hamstring during 2022 pre-season,[24] suffered a second ACL rupture, to the other knee, during training in October, and was released at the end of the 2022–23 season without having played any competitive football for the club.
