Club career Reyna began playing for Coronel Bolognesi for the 1971 Copa Perú where he would repeatedly come back to. Following an additional season to where the club would fail to classify for the final stage of the tournament, he signed for Melgar for their 1973 season initially on loan before deciding to stay in the club. He would enjoy substantially more success there as throughout his entire tenure in the 1970s. Throughout this era, he played alongside other players such as Miguel Ángel Canzani, Emilio Barra and Pablo Muchotrigo. He played a great role in the club's 4th-place result in the 1975 Torneo Descentralizado as well as helping them escape relegation for the 1979 Torneo Descentralizado. In 1976, he briefly returned to Bologniesi to help win the 1976 Copa Perú alongside players such as José Campos, José "Camote" Vásquez and Jaime Espinoza. He then returned to Bolognesi which had found itself promoted to the Torneo Descentralizado and played three additional seasons for the club before being loaned to Atlético Torino, a club that was recently promoted from the 1982 Copa Perú. He would spend the remainder of his career with Bolognesi until his retirement in the 1987 Torneo Descentralizado as a player-manager.
