After joining Westfield midway through the 2015/16 season at a time when the club were in danger of relegation, Reid and his assistant Louis Carder-Walcot did a fantastic job pushing the team into the top half of the Combined Counties League.

 

The following season saw silverware into the club, as winners of the CCL Premier Cup, this in addition to a runners-up spot in the league.

 

Season 2017/18 saw what was undoubtedly one of the highlights in the club's 75-year history, being crowned runaway CCL Premier League champions with one of the highest scoring tallies of any senior football team in the country, and a subsequent promotion into Step 4 of the non-League Pyramid for the first time in the club's history.

 

Westfield's first season since being promoted into the Isthmian League saw Tony and his new assistant Martyn Lee make the play-off finals, and in 2019/20 the club were having another great season, being in a play-off promotion position when the season came to an abrupt end, after the FA’s decision to expunge all matches and thus nullify the season due to the Coronavirus epidemic.

 

Reid told https://www.westfield-fc.com: “Following recent telephone discussions with the club chairman, I have reluctantly decided with a heavy heart that now is the right time for me to stand down as the Westfield manager with immediate effect.

 

“I have not taken this decision lightly and it was based on where the club are at in this present time, and my own personal ambitions to fulfil my career at as high level as possible as a successful manager. 

 

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Westfield and I strongly believe that the success l have achieved over the past few season has left the club in a much stronger position from when I arrived.

 

“I would like to thank the players, staff, committee, sponsors and the supporters but most of all Steve Perkins for always giving me total support during my time with the club.

 

“I leave behind some fantastic memories and I wish everyone at Westfield FC continued success in the future”.
