West Ham United midfielder Kyel Reid has revealed he's held talks with manager Gianfranco Zola about his first team chances.

"He (Zola) has said that I will get my chance but that I've just got to be patient," said Reid.

"I've been on the bench a few times, but I've been out for a couple of weeks with a hamstring injury. I'm back now so hopefully I can get back in the squad regularly."

Reid, who has had loan spells at Barnsley and Crystal Palace in the last two seasons, added: "I went on loan before, so hopefully I can do something similar again at another Championship club."
