After scoring 14 goals for The Pics in the first half of the 2016/2017 season, Reid joined League One club Fleetwood Town before joining Wrexham and Solihull Moors on loan deals.

“I’m a player who likes to play on the shoulder, making runs in behind – always looking to get on the score sheet,” Alex said talking to the media team.

“Tomorrow is on a 3G pitch which makes it a bit different, but I’ve scored there before, so I’ll be looking to make my debut and do it again.

Alex Reid will wear the number 30 and is available for this week’s travel to Maidstone.
