William Joseph Reedy (8 June 1880 — 1 April 1939) was a New Zealand rugby union international.[1]
Reedy, a forward, played rugby in his native Buller District for the White Star club, before taking up a job in the Hutt Valley when he was 27.[2] He joined Wellington club Petone and made his representative debut with Wellington in 1907.[1]
In 1908, Reedy was capped twice by the All Blacks against the touring Anglo-Welsh team, for the 2nd Test draw in Wellington and 3rd Test win in Auckland. The Anglo-Welsh were retrospectively classed as a British Lions side.[1][3]
