Following the return of Reed, Keyzor said: "Jake Reed has been on our radar since I returned as chairman and twice our interest was understandably rejected by Leiston. So I was very surprised when three weeks ago his name was circulated throughout the leagues as being available. Knowing the clubs finances, the transfer would have been beyond us without looking for private donations because it was important that if Jake was to return, it would have to have no effect on the club's finances."

"After a few phone calls I had managed to obtain the undisclosed fee required for the deal to be completed in time for him to return home to the Amber Dew Events Stadium for our home game against Stourbridge. And we all know the outcome and the scorer of the winning goal," continues Keyzor. "I cannot reiterate enough that this wouldn't have been possible if it were not for Gary Bennett, Lord Russell Baker, John Batchelor and the vice presidents, Bob Blizzard and Mr and Mrs Ginger Blue (Kevin and Sandra Read). On behalf of everyone connected with Lowestoft Town FC, I would like to thank all of the above for their very kind donations."

"I would also like to thank Leiston FC for their co-operation and our very own Terry Lynes for ensuring that the papers were lodged with the FA and the Southern league in time for Jake to be available for selection on Saturday, all the hard work and patience paid off with that winning strike on 32 minutes."
