Early Life and Career
Reed was born in Airedale, Castleford England before moving to Bribie Island, Queensland where he played his junior rugby league, he was then signed up to play for the Canberra Raiders feeder club Souths Logan Magpies, where he hoped to make the Canberra Raiders first team, he was then offered a chance to join a Co-operative Championship club after failing to impress at Canberra, it was then after he was signed to the Broncos and playing with the Norths Devils in the Queensland Cup.
Brisbane Broncos
After an impressive 2010 Queensland Cup season with the Norths Devils, Reed was recommended by Norths Devils CEO Mark Murray to take part in Brisbane Broncos pre-season training as part of the feeder arrangement between the two clubs.[1] Reed instantly impressed Brisbane Broncos staff with his attitude and work ethic and was rewarded by playing in all three pre-season trials for the Broncos.[2] Just weeks out from the start of the 2011 NRL season, Reed signed a two year deal with the Brisbane Broncos and his rise from park footballer to professional footballer was complete when he made his NRL debut in Round 1 against the North Queensland Cowboys at Suncorp Stadium.
