Aldershot striker Craig Reid joins Southend

STRIKER Craig Reid has joined Southend United after leaving relegated Aldershot.
The 27-year-old former Stevenage and Newport County striker links up with the club two days before the opening day match against Plymouth.
Reid, who scored 11 goals in 39 appearances for the Shots, is best known for his time with Newport between 2008 and 2011 when he scored 62 league goals for the Exiles.
He then moved in a big-money transfer to Stevenage and helped them win promotion, before joining Aldershot in 2012.
However, following the club’s relegation into the Conference, Reid has agreed to join the Shrimpers, providing a welcome boost to the club’s front line.
He will fight for a place in the starting line-up with Barry Corr, Freddy Eastwood and Seedy Njie.
