Jake Reeves

Jake Kenny Reeves (born 30 May 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League Two club Barnet on loan from EFL League One club AFC Wimbledon. Reeves 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. Born in Lewisham, Reeves moved from Tottenham Hotspur to Brentford in 2009 and was given a two-year scholarship. 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, when he replaced Myles Weston after 82 minutes of a 4–4 draw with Huddersfield Town. At the end of the season he signed a two-year professional contract to be part of the Development Squad. 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. He made two league appearances. Described by new boss Uwe Rösler as a "big option", 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. 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, before the deal was cancelled entirely a week later.
