Reid happy to rejoin Terras

Jake Reid has expressed his delight at rejoining Weymouth just a month after leaving for Grays Athletic.

The Terras' leading goalscorer had hoped to signed on for the season at the Blue Square Premier strugglers but was left disappointed after being let down.

Former boss Ian Hutchinson had arranged for Reid to return but with the management duo of Hutchinson and Andy Mason both leaving the club, the striker returns to some uncertainty.

He told the Dorset Echo: "In hindsight I should not have left Weymouth because what was promised wasn't actually delivered so I wanted to come back to Weymouth as soon as possible.

"It wasn't a matter of football really, I went there with the intention of signing until the end of the season. They wanted me on a month to month contract and for me to relocate but that wasn't good enough for me.

"Hutch actually brought me back even though he's not here anymore. I spoke to him last Friday and he was very happy to have me back.

"George Rolls said the situation is a bit different now and I spoke to him on Tuesday night. We had constructive talks as I needed assurances that the nucleus of the squad would remain intact and that players weren't just going to get shifted out.

"Hopefully I should be available to be in the squad, depending if my registration goes through in time.

"I know I've got a lot of work to do to get back into the team as they've had some decent results over the Christmas period, but I'm ready to do whatever I've got to do.

"Hutch leaving is a shame because he was the reason why I was playing well and why I wanted to come back.

"But these things happen in football, we've got to pick ourselves up. Hutch has got big things ahead of him as a manager as he gets the best out of players and he got the best out of a squad that wasn't playing well."
