Jake Reeves

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

He joined Swindon Town in August 2014, leaving at the end of the year, returning to AFC Wimbledon in January 2015.

Described by new boss Uwe Rösler as a "big option",[8] 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.

[13] 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.

[14] He failed to feature for Brentford again until making a starting appearance in a 2–1 Football League 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.

[19] 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.

[25] After failing to be named in any Brentford league squad in the opening month of the 2014–15 Championship season,[26] Reeves was made available for loan on 18 August 2014.

[3] 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.

[16] Reeves signed for League One side Swindon Town on 29 August 2014, on a short-term deal running until January 2015.

[35] 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.

[49] In February 2019, after 13 months of injury, club manager David Hopkin said he was still unsure when Reeves would return to play.

[56] Later that month he was an unused substitute in the 1–1 FA Cup draw away at Shrewsbury Town,[57] before returning to the first-team as captain in the EFL Trophy game at home to Rochdale three days later.
