Thomas Joseph Reid (born 16 November 1987), known as T. J. Reid, is an Irish hurler who plays for Ballyhale Shamrocks and the Kilkenny inter-county team. He primarily plays as a left wing-forward. After a stop-start nature to his career, something which brought him to the brink of retirement, Reid has earned critical acclaim for his playing style and has emerged as one of the leaders of the Kilkenny team over the last view years.
Born in Ballyhale, County Kilkenny, Reid was introduced to hurling by his father Seán and his uncle Richie, both long-serving players with the local club team. He enjoyed All-Ireland success at colleges level as a substitute with St. Kieran's College while late enjoying championship successes at underage level with the Ballyhale Sharmocks club. A three-time All-Ireland medallist with the Ballyhale Shamrocks senior team, Reid has also won four Leinster medals and six championship medals.
Reid made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Kilkenny minor team. After little success in this grade, he later won two All-Ireland medals with the under-21 team. Reid joined the senior team during the 2007 championship. He went on to play a key role for Kilkenny in attack during a hugely successful era, and has won seven All-Ireland medals, eight Leinster medals and four National Hurling League medals. An All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion, Reid captained the team to All-Ireland defeat in 2010.
