Reina was born in Unna.
For the 2005–06 season, he joined Sportfreunde Siegen who played in the 2. Bundesliga at the time.[3]
Arminia Bielefeld contract
Whilst signing for Arminia Bielefeld, Reina had an unusual stipulation inserted into his contract stating the club must build a new house for him every year he spent with them. Because the type or size of the houses were not specified, the club and Reina had a legal disagreement and settled the case out of court.[4][5]
