Career
Reilly began his professional career with Dundee United but failed to make an appearance and was released in April 2002.[1] Reilly went on trial with Morton in July 2002[2] and signed for them shortly afterwards.[3] In Reilly's third match, he was involved in a "knee-high" tackle which saw him seriously injure former Dundee United teammate Sean O'Connor, earning a red card in the process.[4] Reilly played just another four matches, with his final appearance coming in November 2002.
After leaving Morton, Reilly played professionally in South Africa, then became a manager in Dubai.[5] Returning to Scotland, he was appointed manager of West of Scotland League club Vale of Clyde in August 2021.[6] In March 2023, he moved to become manager of Arthurlie.[7] He led Arthurlie to the final of the 2023–24 Scottish Junior Cup, their first appearance in the final of the competition since 1998.[5] On March 17th of 2025, Reilly left his post as Arthurlie manager by mutual consent.
