Winston Reid has been called up by New Zealand for a friendly meeting with Jamaica in Auckland on 29 February.

Reid, who has earned nine caps for the All Whites, was one of the stars of the Kiwis' impressive showing at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. There, he scored a last-gasp equaliser against Slovakia as New Zealand drew all three group-stage fixtures.

The in-form West Ham United defender is one of four English-based players in Ricki Herbert's squad alongside captain Ryan Nelsen of Tottenham Hotspur, Ipswich Town's Tommy Smith and Bristol City forward Chris Wood.

The fixture, which will take place at Mt Smart Stadium, is the All Whites' last match before the long road to the 2014 FIFA World Cup begins in June with the OFC Nations Cup.

If New Zealand progresses through the eleven qualifiers in Stage 2 and 3 of the Oceania region, a home and away play-off in November 2013 against the fourth-best CONCACAF nation awaits, with the winner qualifying for Brazil 2014.

Reid will not be the only Hammer in action later this month, as Rob Hall has been included in England's Under-19 squad for a friendly meeting with Czech Republic at Leyton Orient's Matchroom Stadium on 28 February.
