REID ALL ABOUT IT: CROESO, RACKEEM!

Aberystwyth Town Football Club is delighted to confirm the signing of 30-year-old striker Rackeem Reid, who links up with Callum McKenzie’s squad ahead of Saturday’s home match-up with Cwmbran Celtic.

Rackeem joins the Club having spent most of his playing career in the English pyramid with spells at National League North clubs such as Rushall Olympic, Telford Utd, and Leamington Spa.

He crossed the border in January 2025 joining Mid Wales rivals Newtown AFC — playing under Callum McKenzie and alongside current Seasiders Desean Martin and Calvin Smith — where he made four JD Cymru Premier appearances, scoring once, before his spell was unfortunately cut short due to personal circumstances.

Off the pitch, Rackeem is an education leader working, tutoring, and mentoring young people in his native Birmingham — and is working toward a Doctorate in Education from Birmingham City University.

Manager Callum McKenzie commented:

'I'm delighted that Rackeem has agreed to join the Club. Racks is a really athletic, aggressive forward who can play centrally or off the sides and having worked with him before, I believe that he will be a handful for opposition defences and give us a real goal threat.

Racks has experience playing and scoring goals at a really good level in England and his quality and personality will give us a lift — and maybe provide us with something we've been missing over the past few weeks.  Welcome to Aber, Racks!'
