Born in Poznań, Reiss is 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, I liga side Warta, scoring 35 goals, before returning to Lech in order to enjoy a farewell season with his favourite club in 2012.[3] On 21 April 2013, at the age of 40 years and 305 days, he became the oldest recorded goalscorer in Ekstraklasa's history after scoring in a 3–1 home win against Zagłębie Lubin.[4] He retired at the end of the season, with a total of 109 goals in Polish top division.[5]

International career

Reiss featured for the Poland national team. Reiss' debut for Poland took place on 10 November 1998 in an away game against Slovakia, scoring the opening goal. In total, he earned four caps and one goal.

Post-playing career

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.
