He was one of Lech Poznań's most notable players ever. He had a spell in German clubs but he claimed that it was so that he could help out Lech Poznań financially through the transfer fee they received for him, as at the time the club was struggling financially.

He captained Lech for many years after he returned from Germany, becoming one of Ekstraklasa's most renowned and best players.

Towards the end of his career, wanting to stay in his hometown he went to play for Poznań's second professional team, Warta in the Second Division, scoring 35 goals, before returning to Lech in order to enjoy a farewell season with his favourite club.

National team

He has also played for the Poland national football team. Reiss' debut for the Poland national team took place on 10 November 1998 in the away game versus Slovakia. He scored at this game and it was his only goal for the Poland national football team. In total he has four caps and one goal.

Post retirement

After retiring from football, he became a youth coach, establishing a youth football academy called Akademia Reissa, which trains hundreds of children and co-operates with Lech's youth system.
