Roda JC

On 27 May 2022, Reith was announced as a new signing for Roda JC, signing a two-year contract with an option for a further year.^[9] He made his debut for the club as a starter on the first matchday of the 2022–23 season, in a 2–0 away win over Dordrecht.^[10][11] Throughout the rest of the season, Reith was primarily utilised as the team's starting right-back.^[12]

Sparta Rotterdam
