Adelaide United happy to have Reid back

The Adelaide United squad are happy to have midfielder Paul Reid back for the remainder of their finals campaign.

The 31-year old pulled out of Friday's knockout final against Wellington Phoenix after it was revealed he would not be allowed to leave the club for Sydney FC.

But Reid has returned to training this week and will be available for selection when the Reds meet Gold Coast United at Hindmarsh Stadium on Sunday and coach Rini Coolen says there are no hard feelings.

"You always see how the people react around you and the squad has really reacted positively," Coolen said. "The squad are really glad to have him back in the team.

"But now we have to move on and look forward. We really need everybody to win something and the squad knows that.

"It's good for the team and the club and that everybody is available.

"There is full focus for the next game and he can train with us and be the same person that he was before last week."
