Career

Born in Esmoriz, Reis started his professional career as an 18-year-old in his hometown club, Esmoriz Ginásio Clube, which led him to his debut for the national team against Czech Republic in 2000.

After a brief spell in the Italian Volleyball League, he moved to Sporting de Espinho, taking part in the conquest of four national titles and one cup. In 2009, he signed with Vitória de Guimarães,[3] but stayed just one year, as he joined Benfica, helping them win an historic three-peat, plus two cups.[4] In 2017, he was released by Benfica and returned to Sporting de Espinho.[5] A year later, he went back to Lisbon to play for Sporting.[6]

In international level, Reis competed at 2008 Olympic Qualification Tournament in Espinho, where Portugal ended up in second place and missed qualification for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.[7]
