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. The coach of BFC Dynamo Jürgen Bogs was so impressed by Reich after a friendly match between SG Dynamo Fürstenwalde and BFC Dynamo that he decided to bring him back to BFC Dynamo during the 1985–86 season.[2] Reich scored his first goal in the DDR-Oberliga in the derby against 1. FC Union Berlin at the Stadion der Weltjugend on 13 September 1986. BFC Dynamo won the match with a massive 8-1.[3][4]
Reich played 302 top-flight matches in (East) German football: 102 in the Oberliga and 200 in the Bundesliga.[5]
Reich won six caps for East Germany between 1987 and 1990.[6]
