NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville SC announced on Tuesday it had purchased central midfielder and captain Michael Reed from San Antonio FC ahead of its inaugural season in the USL this spring. The signing is pending league and federation approval, and the transfer fee and terms of the deal were not disclosed per club policy.

“We are looking to put the best possible team on the field by acquiring players through all means given to us,” said Nashville Head Coach Gary Smith. "Reed was a player we had identified as someone who would make a significant impact to our team's performance. A transfer was the best option in bringing him to Nashville SC."

Reed spent the past two seasons with SAFC and was named captain of the club in 2017. As captain, Reed led San Antonio to a second-place finish in the Western Conference and a trip to the Western Conference Semifinals of the USL Cup Playoffs.
