Welcome Paul Reid
, Commercial Director

After yesterdays fantastic result and performance we have more good news for our supporters of Arbroath FC.

We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Paul Reid as the first ever Commercial Director of Arbroath Football Club.

Whilst we have become accustom to signing talented players on the pitch, the capture of Paul is a real coup for the club.

Paul joins us from Dundee United, where he has been involved in many aspects of the day-to-day running of the club but also was the Head of their Commercial Department. An outstanding 22 year career at Tannadice, with Paul receiving a send off from the United support before kick off yesterday.

Arbroath Football Club is currently making great strides on and off the pitch. This season we are competing well in the cinch Scottish Championship, whilst the Arbroath FC Community Trust and Football Academy has engaged with the town not just with football but reaching out to all aspects of our community.

Gayfield Park, our beloved and iconic home has also went a lot of upgrades including the Championship Lounge and the Caird Hospitality Suite extension and renovation.

Having played for the Arbroath Youth team, Paul is no stranger to Gayfield and having known Chairman Mike Caird and Director Jonny Booth for years we really are excited about Paul’s arrival and the future of Arbroath Football Club.

Mike Caird chairman said “Paul is well known to the Club and this appointment will see his years of experience and knowledge really help us continue to grow as a club and also help us really integrate more with the town and plan our future.” 


Paul spoke of his delight of joining the club “I am absolutely delighted to be joining Arbroath Football Club, I came to Gayfield originally as a 16 year old goalkeeper and instantly fell in love with the Club, and it has always remained extremely close to my heart.

Since then, I have built up a wealth of knowledge and learned from so many wonderful people over the years and I am excited to bring this with me to AFC to add to the sterling work already achieved.


I would like to thank Mike Caird and the board for offering me the opportunity to assist them on the exciting journey they are on, this is an amazing Football Club with such loyal and passionate supporters, sponsors, management, players and staff, and I cannot wait to work with them all and get started.”

Paul is not only a skilled professional in his day-to-day career, but is also known through out the UK for his football and celebrity impressions and has been an after dinner speaker for years, having joined the scene whilst only 16 years old.

We really are delighted by Paul’s appointment and we know he can’t wait to get started!


Welcome to the club Paul!

C’mon the Lichties
