REID ON TARGET ON NORTHERN IRELAND DEBUT

 Former Exeter City and Torquay United striker Jamie Reid became the latest South Devon born striker to score in international football, as he found the back of the net for Northern Ireland in their 1-1 draw with Romania. 

Reid, who hails from Torquay, joined Paignton's Kieffer Moore who has represented Wales and Newton Abbot's Ollie Watkins who, of course, has broken into the England squad. 

He only had to wait seven minutes until opening his account for Michael O'Neill's side after Liverpool's Conor Bradley broke down the right and then fed Southampton midfielder Shea Charles who squared the ball to Reid, who calmly slotted home. 

At the age of 29, Reid, currently with Stevenage in League One, also becomes the second oldest player to score on his debut for the province.
