Reed made his first-class debut for Glamorgan against Lancashire in the 1934 County Championship. He made 24 further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against Sussex in the 1938 County Championship.[1] Seen by some at Glamorgan as a potential long-term replacement for fast bowler Jack Mercer,[2] Reed took 62 wickets at an average of 31.30, with best figures of 5/30.[3] His only five wicket haul came against Sussex in the 1936 County Championship.[4]
He was released by Glamorgan at the end of the 1938 season, and subsequently becoming a police officer.[2] He died at Cardiff, Glamorgan on 11 December 1988.
