Josh Reid

In 2026–27 Reid has two League One appearances, both as a substitute, plus two League Cup appearances and a recorded Challenge Cup goal; this pattern indicates he is being used primarily as a rotational option and bench impact player at left back rather than a regular starter.

Reid is a 24-year-old Scotland left back who plays for Ross County. His career has alternated between permanent transfers and short-term loans: he moved to Coventry City for an undisclosed fee in January 2021, joined Stevenage on loan in January 2023, returned to Ross County for an undisclosed fee in July 2023 and has had subsequent loan activity involving Partick Thistle and Ross County in February and June 2025. The trajectory points to a player whose development has relied on temporary moves to find playing time rather than a single extended spell as a first-choice starter.

Reid's transfers feature undisclosed fees and multiple loans – he moved to Coventry City for an undisclosed fee in January 2021, joined Stevenage on loan in January 2023, transferred back to Ross County for an undisclosed fee in July 2023, moved on loan to Partick Thistle in February 2025 and rejoined Ross County on R F Loan in June 2025; the sequence reflects lateral moves and short-term deals rather than upward transfers for reported fees.
