Career
Brentford
Born in Lewisham,[2] Reeves moved from Tottenham Hotspur to Brentford in 2009[3] and was given a two-year scholarship. He captained the youth team during the 2010/11 season[4] and was given his first team debut by Nicky Forster in the last game of the season, 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 2012. 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] He 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. 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.[15] Despite regular substitute appearances under new manager Mark Warburton, Reeves was again made available for loan in February 2014.[16]
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.[17] He made two appearances and scored no goals.[18]
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.[19] He was recalled by Brentford on 4 December 2012 due to an injury crisis.[20] He made five appearances and scored no goals.[21]
