Reuben Reid

Rotherham United He had a trial with Oxford United in June 2008, but signed for Rotherham United on 22 July 2008, after impressing on trial during the 2008–09 pre-season. He made an immediate impact to the squad, scoring the only goal as Rotherham won 1–0 at home to Lincoln City in the first game of the season. He became an instant hit with the Millers' faithful, scoring both the equaliser and winning penalty against local rivals Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup. In the next round, Reid scored the winning penalty again, this time to knock out Championship leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers. Reid scored his first ever hat-trick in the Millers' 5–1 demolition of relegation threatened Chester City, it was the first time he'd scored more than one goal in a game, the following weekend he scored again in Rotherham's 2–1 over promotion chasing Rochdale, he also smashed a penalty against the bar. This goal took his tally to 13 for the season in all competitions. In the Millers next home game against local rivals Chesterfield, Reid bagged two goals including a superb lob in the Millers' 3–0 win. In the Millers next game, against Bury, he scored a penalty in a 1–1 draw. Reid then added another two goals to his overall tally, when he scored in the Millers' mid-week 4–2 win over doomed Luton Town, and an audacious 30-yard strike in the 1–0 win over Aldershot Town, to take him to 19 in all competitions.

West Bromwich Albion In the summer of 2009, Reid looked set to move to work under Ian Holloway at Blackpool but instead signed for West Bromwich Albion for an undisclosed amount. He made his West Brom debut away at Bury in the 1st round of the League Cup on 11 August, but struggled to nail down a first team place consistently due to high competition on the forward line.

Peterborough United Reid moved on loan to Peterborough United in January 2010 and was scheduled to remain there for three months, but was recalled by his parent club prior to the end of his 93 days. On 23 January 2010, Reid made his debut for Peterborough in a 2–1 loss against Sheffield Wednesday.

Walsall Reid signed on loan for Walsall on 19 August 2010 until January 2011. Manager Chris Hutchings described Reid as "a young, hungry player with a proven track record [who] can play out wide or through the middle." He scored his first goal for Walsall on his debut against Plymouth Argyle on 21 August 2010, scoring the winning goal in the 70th minute of the 2–1 victory. Reid said he was grateful to Walsall for giving him the chance to play regularly.

Oldham Athletic On 28 January 2011, Oldham Athletic signed Reid from West Bromwich Albion until the end of the season with an option to extend. He made his début the day after signing, coming on as a substitute against the 2–2 draw against Carlisle United, and made his first full start against Huddersfield Town on 12 February 2011 in a 0–0 draw at the Galpharm Stadium. His first goal for the club was the final goal scored against Hartlepool United in a 4–0 win on 1 February, and although he scored a second in a 2–0 win against Notts County, at the end of the season it was confirmed that the option to extend had not been taken up by the club.

On 20 May, however, Oldham announced that Reid had informed them he wanted to exercise an option to stay on reduced terms, and as such he had agreed a new deal for the 2011–12 season. He started the season well, scoring five goals before the end of September, but a thigh injury sustained in early October against Milton Keynes Dons kept him out of the reckoning till March. After that he was unable to re-establish himself as a regular, and scored just one goal, which came in a 3–2 defeat at Rochdale.

He was released by Oldham at the end of the 2011–12 season, along with eight other players.

Yeovil Town Keen to move closer to his home in Bristol, Reid signed a two-year deal with League One side Yeovil Town, to take effect on 1 July 2012. Manager Gary Johnson commented favourably on the player's pace and power. On his move, Reid says moving to Yeovil could improve his form. He scored his first goal for Yeovil in a 4–0 win against Scunthorpe, and followed this by scoring twice against former club West Brom in a 4–2 defeat the next Tuesday.

Loan spells at Plymouth Argyle

Reid returned to Plymouth Argyle in January 2013 on loan for one month. It was extended for a second month in March after Reid made six appearances without scoring a goal. Reid scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 win at Southend United, and at the end of the month the loan was extended until the end of the season.

In June 2013, it was confirmed Reid would rejoin Plymouth Argyle on loan until the end of the 2013–14 season.

Reid scored 21 goals for Plymouth in the 2013–14 season, being the first Plymouth striker to score 20+ goals in one season since Tommy Tynan in 1984. He also became the first Argyle player to score a hattrick since Vincent Péricard in 2006. He was awarded the Plymouth Argyle player of the season award on the last home game of the season.

Reid returned to Yeovil before being released at the end of the 2013–14 season, along with three other players.

Return to Plymouth Argyle After several weeks of speculation, Reid signed a two-year contract with Plymouth Argyle in June 2014. He scored a hat-trick in the Derby match at Exeter City on 21 February 2015. He was offered a new contract at the end of the 2015–16 season but chose to move on.

Exeter City Reid joined Exeter City on 13 September 2016. Reid scored his first goal for Exeter in a 4–1 win at Barnet on 15 October 2016.

Forest Green Rovers On 5 January 2018, Reid signed for fellow League Two club Forest Green Rovers for an undisclosed fee on a two-and-a-half-year deal, scoring the only goal in a 1–0 victory over Port Vale a day later.

He was transfer listed by Forest Green Rovers at the end of the 2018–19 season.

Cheltenham Town On 24 June 2019, it was announced that Reid had agreed to join local rivals Cheltenham Town on a free transfer.

Yeovil Town On 5 January 2021, Reid re-joined National League side Yeovil Town until the end of the 2020–21 season. At the end of the 2021–22 season, Reid was released by Yeovil following the expiry of his contract.

Weston-super-Mare In June 2022, Reid joined Southern Football League Premier South club Weston-super-Mare. At the end of the 2024–25 season, Reid left Weston-super-Mare following the expiry of his contract having scored 34 goals and assisted 34 in 131 games.
