Reid joined the New York City FC Academy in fall 2024, having moved from Cedar Stars Academy in New Jersey. [1]
In March 2025, Reed signed an MLS Next Pro contract with NYCFC II through 2025, with a scheduled promotion to a First Team Homegrown contract in 2026. He scored three goals in his first two pro matches, including a brace and a game‑winner, and has totaled 7 goals in 11 appearances to date. [1] [2]
Reid earned three Short‑Term Agreements with NYCFC’s First Team, debuting as a substitute in March 2025 — the youngest player in club MLS history — in a 0–0 draw vs. Columbus Crew. [3] [4] [5]
On 27 May 2025, Reid signed a Homegrown Player contract through 2029 (with option for 2030), becoming NYCFC’s 17th Homegrown and immediately eligible for First Team call‑ups. [6]
