Keane backs Reid to find form

ROY KEANE has challenged Andy Reid to rediscover direction in his career with Sunderland.

Black Cats manager Keane believes the 25-year-old Republic of Ireland midfielder, who moved from Charlton on Thursday in a deal worth up to £4m (e5.4m), “lost his way” in an 18-month spell at Tottenham.

Ex-Spurs boss Martin Jol took Reid to White Hart Lane from Nottingham Forest for a similar sum three years ago before he was offloaded to the Addicks for £3m (e4m).
