A Graceful Exit For Reid

Last updated : 12 May 2006 By Covsupport

Craig Reid scored one and set up another in a Exit Trial game at Birmingham City. The games organised on behalf of the PFA by footballcv.com are a chance for players released by FL clubs to showcase their talents in matches of thirty minutes each way.

Looking confident,playing to feet and passing accurately, the twenty year old top scorer for City Reserves who was released by Micky Adams last week, gave the keeper no chance from the penalty spot in the 25th minute to tie the game.

Two minutes after the restart on a hot afternoon at St Andrews, and in front of a number of scouts plus former Sky Blue Dennis Mortimer, the pace of Reid saw him pulled down for a second penalty which was converted. His side missed another penalty late on but were worthy winners.
