St. Louis CITY SC signed defender Jayden Reid to a first-team contract through the end of 2024 with club options in 2025 and 2026. Reid made two first-team starts for the senior team this season as a CITY2 player.

We hope to see him continue to grow as a professional in St. Louis.”

Reid, 22, made his MLS debut on June 22 against Atlanta United as he started and played the full 90 minutes. He then earned his second MLS start against San Jose Earthquakes, playing the full 90 minutes. CITY SC is 1-0-1 when Reid starts at left back.
