Now into his third spell as an AFC Wimbledon player, Jake Reeves has seen and felt moments which live long in the memory for both the man himself and our fans.
From that incredible goal against York City to playing a vital role in our 2016 promotion success, the energetic playmaker has been almost ever present during his spells in yellow and blue.
Having rejoined the Club and being handed the captain’s armband by Johnnie Jackson last summer, Jake now takes on a new role as a leader of the pack, having originally first joined us in 2012 at the age of 19 on loan.
Fast forward over 10 years and our skipper is now closing in on his 150th appearance for the Dons – which could come on Saturday away at Salford City.
With this in mind we sat down with ‘Reevesy’ to take a look back at his finest and most memorable moments with Wimbledon, as he revealed some inside secrets and put across how proud he is to represent this club. Subjects included but are not limited to the following:
- How he came to join the Dons first time round.
- His run in the play-off semi-final vs Accrington Stanley in 2016.
