[edit] Early life

Reid was born in North Shore, Auckland[2] [3] He moved from New Zealand to Denmark at the age of 10 with his mother and Danish stepfather.[4]

[edit] Club career

[edit] FC Midtjylland

Reid signed a youth contract with SUB Sønderborg, before moving on to play youth football with Danish Superliga club FC Midtjylland. He was one of the first players to graduate from FCM's football academy, the first of its kind in Denmark, coming through the system alongside Midtjylland teammates Jesper Weinkouff, Christian Sivebæk and former teammate, Simon Kjær.

[edit] West Ham United

Reid signed for West Ham United on 5 August 2010, on a three year contract for an undisclosed fee.[5][6] He made his Premier League debut, on 14 August, in a 3-0 loss to Aston Villa.[7] He scored his first goal for West Ham in the 5-1 win against Burnley in the FA Cup on 21 February 2011.[8]


[edit] International career

Reid received Danish citizenship in 2006[5] and was subsequently called up for the Under-19 national team. He played for various Danish age-grade representative teams, in particular the Under-19s and Under-21s, and played in the 2009 European Under-21 Championship qualification tournament.

On 11 March 2010, Reid stated that he wanted to play for the senior New Zealand team,[9] and on 13 March 2010 he made himself available for New Zealand's 2010 World Cup selection.[4] On 10 May 2010, Reid was included in New Zealand's 2010 World Cup squad even though New Zealand national coach Ricki Herbert had never seen him play.[2][10] He made his international debut in a friendly against Australia in Melbourne two weeks later. His second appearance came in the All Whites' shock 1-0 victory over Serbia, leaving Ricki Herbert "suitably impressed" with Reid's performance,[11] supplanting Ben Sigmund on the right side of Herbert's three-man defence.

On 15 June 2010, Reid scored an equalizing goal in stoppage time against Slovakia in their opening game of the 2010 World Cup, thus securing a draw as well as his first ever international goal and New Zealand's first ever point in a World Cup finals match.[12]

On 12 October 2010, Winston picked up his first international red card against Paraguay in Wellington for a "vicious"[13] studs-up tackle on striker Federico Santander in the 90th minute of the All Whites' 2-0 defeat.
