The Atlanta Silverbacks announced the signing of NASL veteran midfielder Michael Reed on Feb. 27. The former Minnesota United man adds box-to-box depth to the Silverbacks.
“Michael is a great addition,” Silverbacks head coach Gary Smith said. “He's got nice experience at this level. He's that No. 8 with energy, ability to help the back four and quality to go and join the front players. He's capable of doing everything competitively and technically, and looks a very good team player.”
Reed, a 27-year-old Albuquerque, N.M., native, featured for Minnesota in 31 appearances after debuting in 2012. He scored his only goal with Minnesota in Week 7 of the 2013 Spring Season, equalizing against the Tampa Bay Rowdies.
"I try to see myself as a selfless player, where I make runs to open up opportunities for others," he said in a 2013 interview with the Minnesota Star Tribune. "Obviously, you don't get the ball as much, but you create opportunities for the team. It's a key role that is not as noticeable, but it opens up a lot of things, and I think it's something that I bring to the team."
The University of Albuquerque alumnus earned five All- Mountain Pacific Sports Federation honors in his four years as a Lobo. After a redshirt freshman year in 2006, Reed started 60 of his 76 appearances with the Lobos, scoring three times and delivering 11 assists. In 2010, as a senior, he was most productive with 20 starts, two goals and six assists.
“In terms of his personal abilities, he's a good footballer,” Smith said. “He's one of those old-fashioned, two-way midfield players. In the modern game, you see it broken up a bit more; there are more specific roles. People want to identify as a screen or defensive midfield player or identify as a No. 10.
“Michael's one of the old-school midfield players that is asked to do everything.”
