He went on to make his first start for the club in the opening game of the 2014–15 season.[6] Reed signed a new three-year deal with United on 24 July 2015.[7] In July 2017, he joined Chesterfield on a season-long loan deal.[8] He was later transfer-listed by Sheffield United at the end of the 2017–18 season.[9]
In June 2018, Reed joined Peterborough United for an undisclosed fee.[10] In May 2021, after three seasons with the club, it was announced that Reed would leave Peterborough at the end of his contract.[11]
After a brief period on trial with Doncaster Rovers,[12] Reed joined League Two club Swindon Town on 6 August 2021 on a free transfer.[13] Following an impressive debut season, Reed was voted the club's Players' Player of the Year at the club's annual end of season awards.[14]
