Reid taught physical education and mathematics at St John's College in Johannesburg and played one first-class cricket match for Transvaal B. Later he worked for Nike in South Africa. In the mid-1980s, after visiting the New Zealand cricketers who were touring Zimbabwe in October 1984, he decided to return to New Zealand and resume his cricket career.^[3]

Reid settled in Auckland in 1985 and played with some success for the Auckland cricket team. He acted as liaison officer with the touring Australian team in 1986.^[3] He married Debbie Kittow in April 1989.^[3]

In 1990 Reid returned to Wellington to work as a sales representative for Nike New Zealand.^[3] Opening the batting in one-day matches for Wellington, he was the highest scorer in the 1990–91 Shell Cup competition, with 348 runs at an average of 69.60 and a scoring rate of 109.77 runs per 100 balls faced.^[4] He was included in the New Zealand team for the World Series in Australia that season, and was New Zealand's top-scorer in the second final with 64.^[5] A few days later he was the top-scorer on either side with 47 from 44 balls when Wellington won the final of the Shell Cup.^[6]

Reid's form fell away after that season and he played no more international cricket. His last season of domestic cricket was 1991–92.^[3]

Reid worked as chief executive officer of Nike New Zealand until 2001, when he began a career in cricket and rugby administration.^[7]
