Reilly played in a variety of positions for Meath, appearing in midfield and half-forward in the 2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-Final defeat to Kerry. His most frequent position was at full-back, where he played during the 2010 Leinster Senior Football Championship Final, which resulted in a controversial victory over Louth. In 2011, Reilly was part of the Ireland team that won the 2011 International Rules Series against Australia by 130 to 65.[2][3] In 2013, he was appointed Meath captain by Mick O'Dowd. With his club Navan O'Mahony's, he has won three Meath senior titles. Reilly announced his retirement from inter-county football in 2015 due to injury at just 29.
In December 2019, he was named as a Meath under-20 county team selector under the management of Ger Robinson.[4]
