Jake Kenny Reeves (born 30 May 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays for AFC Wimbledon, as a midfielder.

He began his career in the youth system at Tottenham Hotspur, before beginning his senior career with Brentford in 2011. He joined Swindon Town in August 2014, leaving at the end of the year, returning to AFC Wimbledon in January 2015.

Career

Brentford

Born in Lewisham,[2] Reeves moved from Tottenham Hotspur to Brentford in 2009 and was given a two-year scholarship.[3] He captained the youth team during the 2010–11 season and was given his first team debut by Nicky Forster in the last game of the season,[4] when he replaced Myles Weston after 82 minutes of a 4–4 draw with Huddersfield Town.[5] At the end of the season he signed a two-year professional contract to be part of the Development Squad. Described by new boss Uwe Rösler as a "big option",[6] Reeves made his first start for the club on the opening day of the 2011–12 season in a 2–0 home win over Yeovil Town.[7] He was due to move on loan to Hayes & Yeading United in November 2011, but the move was delayed on 17 November due to ill health,[8] before the deal was cancelled entirely a week later.[9] He made only two further substitute appearances for Brentford during the 2011–12 season, making 11 appearances in total.[10]

Reeves started Brentford's first game of the 2012–13 season against Walsall in the League Cup first round, but he lasted only 25 minutes before being sent off for a challenge on Adam Chambers.[11] He failed to feature for Brentford again until making a starting appearance in a 2–1 Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat to Southend United in December. In an FA Cup match versus Chelsea on 17 February 2013, Reeves was left concussed following a collision with opposition defender David Luiz.[12] Reeves signed a new two-year deal in April 2013,[4] after making 15 appearances during the 2012–13 season.[13]

Reeves was made available for loan in October 2013,[14] after managing just one league start during the first four months of the 2013–14 season.[15] He instead saw regular action in the Development Squad during the first half of the season, making seven appearances.[16] Reeves scored the first senior goal of his career in an FA Cup first round tie against local neighbours Staines Town on 9 November, bagging the second in a 5–0 victory.[17] Despite regular substitute appearances and a start under new manager Mark Warburton,[18] Reeves was again made available for loan in February 2014.[19] The departure of central midfielder Toumani Diagouraga on loan and injury to Adam Forshaw saw Reeves win his second start under Warburton in a 2–0 win over Tranmere Rovers on 11 March.[20] Reeves made sporadic appearances through to the end of the season and celebrated the Bees' automatic promotion to the Championship after a 1–0 win over Preston North End on 18 April.[21] In the 2013–14 season, Reeves made 25 appearances and scored his first goal for the club.[22]

After failing to be named in any Brentford league squad in the opening month of the 2014–15 Championship season,[23] Reeves was made available for loan on 18 August 2014.[24] He chose to terminate his contract by mutual consent on 29 August and departed Griffin Park.[25] Manager Mark Warburton said Reeves "needs to play week-in, week-out. With the level of player we have here, that opportunity is not available at Brentford now".[25] Reeves made 47 appearances and scored one goal during his time with the Bees.[26]

St Albans City (loan)

Reeves joined Conference South side St Albans City on a work experience loan in February 2011, linking up with fellow Brentford youth teammate Kyle Vassell.[27] He made two league appearances.[28]

AFC Wimbledon (loan)

Reeves moved on loan to League Two club AFC Wimbledon on 5 November 2012. He made his debut the following day in a 2–0 defeat at Exeter City.[29] He was recalled by Brentford on 4 December 2012 due to an injury crisis.[30] He made five appearances and scored no goals.[13]

Swindon Town

Reeves signed for League One side Swindon Town on 29 August 2014, on a short-term deal running until January 2015.[31][32] After his arrival, he said "I've got a lot of energy to give to the team and you'll hopefully see some good passing ranges too. I also hope to score a few goals".[33] Reeves made his debut for the Robins with a late substitute appearance for goalscorer Jonathan Obika in a 2–1 victory over Bradford City on 13 September.[34] He scored his first goal for the club on his fifth appearance, scoring the second goal in a 3–0 win over Barnsley on 27 September.[35] Reeves left the club in late December 2014, after his deal expired.[36] He made 12 appearances and scored one goal, managing just three starts.[23]

AFC Wimbledon

In December 2014, it was reported that Reeves' former club AFC Wimbledon had shown interest in signing him.[37]

In January 2015 Reeves rejoined the club on a permanent deal.[38]
