Club career
Nicknamed El Negro, Reyes was born in Avellaneda on October 28, 1893.[1] He started his career in the youth system of Club Racing in 1910, where he played alongside future idols of the club, such as Carlos Muttoni, Francisco Olazar, and Ricardo Pepe.[1] Reyes left the senior squad in 1929, joining the veterans team where he stayed until 1929.[1]
Reyes was part of one of Racing Club's best periods that included seven consecutive league titles, earning the nickname Academia ("academy") for the club,[2][3] winning 20 titles with the team.[1]
Despite having played his entire career for Racing Club, Reyes played a friendly match (along with goalkeeper Marcos Crocce) for Gath & Chavez, on 8 October 1918. He also remains as the Racing player with most matches with the Argentina national team,[4] and the most winning player with 20 titles won with the team.[5]
When he retired from football, Reyes became manager of Racing Club in the early 1930s.[6]
International career
Internationally, Reyes played a total of 22 matches for the Argentina national football team,[5][7] being also part of Argentina's squad for the 1919 South American Championship.[8]
