West Ham United defender Winston Reid has joined Major League Soccer side Sporting Kansas City on loan.

Reid, 31, links up with the MLS team ahead of the start of their 2020 season next month.

Sporting Kansas City have played in the United States' top league since 1996, winning two championships in 2000 and 2013.

They have also lifted the US Open Cup on four occasions and begin their campaign with a trip to Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday 1 March.

Reid, West Ham United's second longest-serving player behind skipper Mark Noble, has not played a competitive first team game since March 2018 due to a serious knee injury and will now look to gain valuable game time in Kansas City.
