Before, during & after Southend
Striker Craig Reid signed for Southend in August 2013 after leaving Aldershot Town, with earlier spells at Newport County and Stevenage behind him. Although he brought an established lower-league goalscoring reputation, opportunities at Roots Hall proved scarce.
All six of his League Two games came from the bench, alongside one League Cup and one Football League Trophy start. Reid made eight competitive Southend appearances without a goal, leaving in January 2014 and subsequently returning to Stevenage.
