Club career
Early Career
Even though he came out of Club América's reserves, he was given his professional debut at San Luis F.C. on July 31, 2005. He scored his first goal in the Primera Division against Pumas UNAM on 5 February, 2006.
Club América
On December 18, 2008 he signed with Mexico City giants América, the club where he was born as a footballer, to be the new reinforcement for the Clausura 2009 season. His debut was against rivals Chivas Guadalajara in the InterLiga tournament were the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
In the Bicentenario 2010 season, with the long-term injury of Salvador Cabañas, Reyna became a reference player for the team and one of their top scorers, going on to score 7 goals in 16 appearances, including the 9000th goal in the history of the Estadio Azteca in a 2-2 draw with Pachuca.
On 3 April, 2011 Reyna scored his first hat-trick for América in a 5-4 win against Puebla in the Clausura 2011 tournament. On 1 May, 2011 after scoring the second goal in the 91' minute in the 2-0 win over home-side Pumas, Reyna scored his 13th league goal, thus becoming goalscoring champion of the Clausura 2011. [1] He made team history by becoming only the second Mexican-born goalscoring champion, the first being Cuauhtemoc Blanco in 1998, scoring 16 goals. Current head coach Carlos Reinoso has regarded Reyna as the key player for America and up coming tournaments.
International career
In 2010, Reyna was called up by Javier Aguirre to play a series of friendlies with the Mexican national football team against Bolivia, North Korea, and Iceland, were he appeared as a substitute in all three matches. After getting the goalscorer title in the Primera División Mexicana Clausura 2011 for Club América he as called by new national team coach José Manuel de la Torre for a series of friendlies against Ecuador and New Zealand and then for the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup; the latter being the first official competition that Reyna will play with the national team.
