Reid was born in Cape Town and educated there at Diocesan College.[2] A right-handed batsman, he played in five Currie Cup finals for Western Province, all of them against Transvaal.[1] His only first-class century was 101 not out against Griqualand West in 1906–07, when Western Province scored 509 off 91.4 overs and went on to win by an innings and 359 runs.[3]
Reid toured England with the South African team in 1901, when no Test matches were played, scoring 412 runs in first-class matches at an average of 22.88.[4] He was also selected to tour England in 1904, but was unavailable and was replaced by his Western Province teammate Stanley Horwood.[5]
Reid's younger brother Norman played in one Test for South Africa in 1921.
