Lamar Reynolds (born 16 August 1995) is a Jamaican professional footballer for club Greenock Morton.
Reynolds was born in Jamaica and moved to the United Kingdom when he was eight years old.[3]
Reynolds began his career with Barking, joining the club's youth academy at the age of 16.[4] He graduated into the first-team during the 2012–13 season, scoring his first goals for the club with a brace during a 6–1 victory over Sporting Bengal United on 5 January 2013.[5] He later played for Thurrock, scoring once in 23 league appearances,[6] and Aveley before joining Grays Athletic in 2015.[7] On 6 November 2015, Reynolds joined Heybridge Swifts on loan,[8] making his debut the following day in a 3–1 defeat to Soham Town Rangers. He went on to play in a further seven matches in all competitions for the club.[9]
In January 2016, Reynolds returned to his first club Barking after failing to break into the first-team with Grays,[10] having featured in 12 league matches for the club.[11] Despite only playing the second half of the season, Reynolds finished as Barking's second highest top scorer with 10 goals in 15 appearances,[12] including a hat-trick during an 8–0 victory over Tower Hamlets on 8 March 2016.[13] Reynolds joined Isthmian League North Division club Brentwood Town for the 2016–17 season, scoring 27 goals in 38 matches.[14]
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.[15] After impressing scouts at the academy, Reynolds joined League Two side Newport County on a two-year deal.[7] [16] He made his professional debut on the opening day of the 2017–18 season in a 3–3 draw at Stevenage.[17] On 4 January 2018, Reynolds joined Leyton Orient on loan for the remainder of the 2017–18 season.[18]
On 2 July 2018, Reynolds joined Dagenham & Redbridge on a free transfer with Newport securing a sell on clause as part of the deal.[19] On 21 March 2019, Chelmsford City signed Reynolds on loan until the end of the season.[20] In May 2019, it was announced that he would be released following the expiration of his contract at the end of the 2018–19 campaign.[21]
On 20 June 2019, he signed for National League South side Concord Rangers on a free transfer following his release from Dagenham.[22]
Following an unsuccessful trial with Scottish side Livingston,[23] Reynolds joined National League South side Braintree Town on 25 August 2022.[24]
On 22 May 2023, Reynolds agreed to join Maidstone United, following the club's relegation to the National League South.[25]
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.
On 27 May 2024, Reynolds signed a pre-contract agreement with Scottish Championship club Greenock Morton, agreeing to a one-year deal with the Ton.[26]
