Reich began to play football for SG Dynamo Fürstenwalde and joined the youth academy of BFC Dynamo at 12-years-old in 1977. He then returned to SG Dynamo Fürstenwalde when he was 17 years old.[2] He made his professional debut for SG Dynamo Fürstenwalde in the DDR-Liga in 1981.

FC Union Berlin at the Stadion der Weltjugend on 13 September 1986. BFC Dynamo won the match with a massive 8-1.[3][4]
