Steven Reid is currently the assistant head coach of the Scotland National Team working with manager Steve Clarke in their bid to qualify for the European Championships.

As a player, Steven started at Millwall before moving to play for Blackburn Rovers and West Bromwich Albion in the English Premier League before finishing his career at Burnley.

Steven was capped 23 times as a senior international for the Republic of Ireland including playing in the 2002 FIFA World Cup. As a senior professional Steven made 343 appearances and scored 27 goals as a player before starting his 1st team, coaching career at Reading FC in 2015. In 2017, having attained his UEFA Pro Licence, Steven accepted an invitation to join Premier League Crystal Palace with Manager Roy Hodgson before taking a break from football.

After a small time supporting AFC Wimbledon in 2018 Steven returned to West Brom to support caretaker Jimmy Shan before finally joining the International scene with the senior Scotland National team.

Steven now also passionately supports players, teams and coaches through his own company Steven Reid Coaching which launched earlier this year.

I worked with Steven at West Bromwich Albion when Steven was senior first team captain. Following a close professional relationship at West Brom we have continued to stay connected throughout our careers.

The team at Tom Bates Coaching are greatly honoured to have such a knowledgeable, professional coach who will be sharing an wealth of experience with our guests at The Future Coach Virtual Seminar.
