A lock and flanker, Reid represented East Coast and Hawke's Bay at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, from 1935 to 1937. He played 27 matches for the All Blacks including nine internationals. Affiliating to Ngāti Porou, Reid represented New Zealand Māori between 1931 and 1949.
