In June 2017, Reynolds was one of 42 players who attended the V9 Academy, a week long training programme set up by England international Jamie Vardy to showcase players from non-League clubs to scouts, at the Etihad Campus in Manchester. After impressing scouts at the academy, Reynolds joined League Two side Newport County on a two-year deal. He made his professional debut on the opening day of the 2017–18 season in a 3–3 draw at Stevenage. On 4 January 2018, Reynolds joined Leyton Orient on loan for the remainder of the 2017–18 season.

Following an unsuccessful trial with Scottish side Livingston, Reynolds joined National League South side Braintree Town on 25 August 2022.
On 22 May 2023, Reynolds agreed to join Maidstone United, following the club's relegation to the National League South.
On 27 January 2024, Reynolds scored the opening goal for Maidstone in their fourth round FA Cup tie against Ipswich Town and assisted Sam Corne's eventual winner; Maidstone would ultimately beat Ipswich 2-1, despite being four tiers below their opponents.
