The following month Reeves joined Fourth Division Burnley on loan and made his debut at Bolton in a 2-1 victory on 21 November 1987.

In August 1989, Reeves joined Bolton for £80,000 but only stayed for 3 ½ years making 134 appearances and scoring 29 goals.

Reeves joined Carlisle for a fee of £121,000 in October 1993, a transfer record which was only broken by Joel Garner's signing from Blackburn in August 2007. Reeves was the leading scorer for Carlisle in 1993/94 as they
won 10 of their final 14 league games to secure the final play off place in Division Three, though their promotion dream was ended by Wycombe in the semi-finals.


The 1994/95 season saw Reeves score 33 goals, (25 in the league), as Carlisle won the Third Division title and reached the Autoglass Trophy final, but missed out after conceding an injury time extra time goal to Birmingham.


For the third season on the trot Reeves was the top scorer for Carlisle in 1995/96 as they suffered relegation back to Division Three.


After 3 years and scoring 48 league goals in 127 appearances for Carlisle, Reeves joined Preston for £300,000 in October 1996 to replace the previous seasons leading scorer Andy Saville. Reeves scored on his debut in a 2-1 home victory over Shrewsbury on 19 October and scored an hat-trick the following month in a 5-1 FA Cup win over non-league Altrincham. Reeves was the leading scorer for PNE in 1996/97 with 11 goals in 34 appearances. After scoring 4 goals in his first seven appearances in all competitions he didn't score in his next 9 league games. His last appearance for the Lilywhites was in a 1-0 home defeat to Wrexham on 19 October 1997.

Reeves scored on his debut for Oldham in a 2-0 home win against Port Vale on 21 December and both goals at Blackpool on Boxing Day. After that the goals dried up and made his last appearance for Oldham on 5 March 1992, he had scored 3 goals in 13 appearances.
