Gordon Reid (born 4 March 1987) is a Scottish international Rugby union player. He plays as a loosehead prop. He now plays for Marr. He previously played for English Premiership sides London Irish and, the Pro14 side Glasgow Warriors and the Super 6 side Ayrshire Bulls.[1] [2]

Rugby Union career

Amateur career

Reid played for Ayr.[3]

In 2021 Reid joined Marr. He scored a try on his debut on 4 September 2021.[4]

Professional career

Reid has played over 100 times for the Glasgow Warriors.[5]

After 7 years at Glasgow Warriors Reid departed the club when his contract expired in the summer of 2017.[6]

On 1 June 2017 it was announced he had signed for newly promoted London Irish in the English Premiership.[7]

For the start of the 2019–20 season it was announced that Reid would join the Super 6 side, the Ayrshire Bulls.[8]

On 29 November 2019 it was announced that in addition to playing for the Ayrshire Bulls, Reid would once again join Glasgow Warriors in a partnership contract between the Pro14 and Super 6 side.[9]

On 11 March 2020 it was announced that Reid had signed for Northampton Saints. Saints' scrum coach Matt Ferguson said the capture of Reid was 'top of the shopping list'.[10] He departed the club in June 2020 having not been able to play due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] In November 2021 he joined Wasps RFC on a short-term contract.[12]

International career

Reid was called into the Scotland squad for the first time during the 2012 end-of-year rugby union tests and made an appearance on the substitute's bench against Tonga on 24 November, however he did not make it onto the field for his international debut.[13] [14] Reid made his Scotland debut v USA on the 2014 tour, and was a member of the Scotland Squad at the 2015 Rugby World Cup. He scored his first try for Scotland in the Calcutta Cup game of the 2017 Six Nations Championship.[15]

Outside of rugby

Reid made the headlines on 24 November 2019 when after investigating a burning smell – which he initially thought may have his tumble drier – he ran into a neighbour's house and saved a man from a burning building.[16] [17]
