Club career

Reed was an unused substitute for Wembley when they won the 1995–96 FA Women's Premier League Cup final, beating Doncaster Belles on penalties at Underhill Stadium.[5]

International career

Reed won three caps for England, at a time when she was an understudy to Pauline Cope. She was called up for the first time by Ted Copeland as a 16-year-old Wembley player for a UEFA Women's Euro 1997 qualifying fixture against Portugal at Griffin Park on 19 May 1996.[1] She appeared as a substitute for Cope in a 6–0 friendly defeat by the United States in Portland, Oregon, on 11 May 1997. She made another substitute appearance for Cope in a 4–1 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification playoff win in Romania on 13 September 1998. Her third and final England cap came as a substitute for Rachel Brown in a 4–1 friendly defeat by Italy in Bologna on 26 May 1999.[6]

In November 2022, Reed was recognized by The Football Association as one of the England national team's legacy players, and as the 124th women's player to be capped by England.[7][8]
