Biography

Jack Reed (born 15 July 1988) is a former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 2010s for the Brisbane Broncos of the NRL. An England international representative, Reed primarily played as a centre. Whilst he was born in England he played his entire junior and professional career in Australia.

Early life

Reed was born in Silsden, Keighley, West Yorkshire, before moving to Bribie Island, Queensland where he played his junior rugby league with the Caboolture Snakes club and the Bribie Island Warrigals.

Playing career

Reed was then signed up to play for the Canberra Raiders feeder club Souths Logan Magpies. However, after failing to impress at Canberra, he was signed to the Brisbane Broncos, and playing with the Norths Devils in the Queensland Cup.

Brisbane Broncos

After an impressive 2010 Queensland Cup season with the Norths Devils, Reed was recommended by Norths Devils CEO Mark Murray to take part in Brisbane Broncos pre-season training as part of the feeder arrangement between the two clubs. Reed impressed Brisbane Broncos staff with his attitude and work ethic and was rewarded by playing in all three pre-season trials for the Broncos.

Just weeks out from the start of the 2011 NRL season Reed signed a two-year deal with the Brisbane Broncos, he made his NRL début in Round 1 against the North Queensland Cowboys at Suncorp Stadium, scoring try in the Broncos' narrow 16-14 loss. At the end of the 2011 Brisbane Broncos season, in which they were knocked out of the finals by eventual premiers the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, Reed was named the club's rookie of the year.

Reed was selected in the centre in the NRL All Stars team for the 2012 All Stars match, and scored a try in the 65th minute.

Reed suffered a broken leg scare which turned out to be a minor injury which interrupted his 2012 season.

Reed played in the 2015 NRL Grand final, scoring a try in the Broncos' golden point extra time defeat by the North Queensland Cowboys.

On 7 September 2016, Reed announced his retirement from rugby league due to complications from a shoulder injury.

Representative career

On 15 September 2011, it was announced that Reed had chosen to represent England, the country of his birth.

Reed started off his England international career in a warm-up test against France before the 2011 Four Nations tournament. He scored a 70-metre try.
