Albion Rovers are looking at defender Tom Leighton after his departure from League One club Alloa Athletic.
The versatile full-back failed to make a single appearance before departing the Wasps.
Previously he was with Cove Rangers and East Kilbride, following a big move south to English club Watford following promise at Motherwell.
Reid has been keen to add a defender and a striker to his squad, with funds available to him if he spotted something extra which could enhance his squad.
He added: “We are looking at him just now.
"We are short defenders and we are looking at players to bring in to the club.
"It’s just a case of whether we can get them or not.”
Albion Rovers were sidelined yesterday after their League Two game away to Stirling Albion was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch at Forthbank.
