Club career
Groningen
Reis played in the youth departments of SV Hoofddorp and FC Groningen. In 2017, he signed a contract with Groningen, keeping him in the club until 2020. On 21 September 2017, he made his professional debut for the first team in a Dutch Cup match, starting against USV Hercules. He was substituted off for Ajdin Hrustic in the 59th minute, as the match ended 4–2 to Groningen.
On 29 October 2017, Reis scored his first first-team goal in the Eredivisie against Sparta Rotterdam. Thereby he became the first player to be born in the 2000s to score in the first division of Dutch football. On 19 November 2017, he received his second yellow card in a match against Vitesse, becoming the youngest player ever in the Eredivisie to be sent off.[1]
Barcelona
After Groningen were knocked out by Vitesse in the 2018–19 Dutch play-offs for European competitions 4–3 on aggregate, Reis signed a five-year contract with FC Barcelona until 2024.[2] Barcelona paid an initial fee of around €3m, which could rise to €8m if various clauses were met.[3] He was assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B, and he made his debut on 25 August 2020 in a 2–0 away win against CF Badalona.[4]
Loan to VfL Osnabrück
On 3 October 2020, Reis joined 2. Bundesliga side VfL Osnabrück on a season-long loan.[5][6] At the end of the season, Osnabrück were relegated after losing to FC Ingolstadt 04 in the relegation playoff.[7]
Hamburger SV
On 28 June 2021, Reis joined Hamburger SV and signed a four-year contract, with Barcelona retaining 25% of the rights to any future transfer sale.[8][9]
In June 2023, after Hamburg had failed to win promotion, Reis was linked with a move away; however, Reis and the club announced that he would be staying in Hamburg for another season.[10]
Staying for a fourth season at Hamburg, Reis tore a muscle against Nürnberg in a league match on 3 November 2024, seeing him miss the rest of the year.[11]
During Reis' rehabilitation, coach Steffen Baumgart was dismissed due to poor results and was succeeded by his assistant Merlin Polzin. Reis made his comeback in January in an away match against Hertha BSC.[12]
Reis would have to wait another month before making his first start under the new manager, remaining a regular starter each week for the rest of the season.[13]
Hamburg rallied during the campaign, finally clinching promotion back to the top flight of German football on 10 May 2025, thanks to a 6–1 home win over SSV Ulm 1846. Reis played a key role by scoring the equaliser after Hamburg had conceded early to the relegation strugglers. The result secured second-place for Hamburg, seeing them return to the top flight after 2555 days.[14][15]
At the end of the season it was announced that Reis would transfer to Club Brugge after 129 official matches.
Club Brugge
On 25 June 2025, after 4 years at Hamburg, Reis joined Belgian Jupiler Pro League club Club Brugge for a €7 million estimated fee.[16]
International career
Reis was born in the Netherlands to Slovak parents which makes him eligible to represent both the Netherlands and Slovakia internationally.[17][18] He has played for the Dutch U19 team since 2018, playing five matches in the 2019 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualifiers.[19]
Reis was part of the Dutch U21 team in the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship and played in the group stage.[20] He was called up for the squad in the knockout stage, but withdrew in order to play for his club side Osnabrück in the 2. Bundesliga relegation playoff.[21]
