Lou Reed (born 10 September 1987) is a Welsh international rugby union footballer. He previously played as a lock for Sale Sharks in the Premiership league. Reed is currently working as a representative for Heraeus Medical in South Wales, although occasionally still plays rugby in his free time.
Reed signed for the Scarlets on a professional development contract in March 2006,[1] but only made five appearances in the 2006–07 season. In order to gain some experience of first-team rugby, Reed was loaned to Rotherham for a month in December 2007.[2]
In May 2012 the press announced that Reed would join Cardiff Blues, and the move was confirmed on 8 June.[3]
International
[edit]In June 2011 he was named in the Wales national rugby union team 45 man training squad for the 2011 Rugby World Cup.[4] Reed made his full international debut for Wales versus Scotland on 12 February 2012 as a second-half replacement.
