Manuel 'Manolo' Reina Rodríguez (born 1 April 1985) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for RCD Mallorca as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Born in Villanueva del Trabuco, Málaga, Andalusia, Reina was a product of hometown Málaga CF's youth system. He appeared in one game with the first team during the 2005–06 season, against Valencia CF in a 0–0 home draw,[1] as they went on to rank last in La Liga.

In 2007, Reina joined Levante UD, but played mainly for the reserves during his early spell. However, the club's severe financial crisis led to him becoming first-choice after the departure of Marco Storari;[2] in eight matches, he conceded 18 goals.

Reina appeared in 47 games in the following two seasons combined, the last of them ending in top flight promotion. For 2010–11 he was initially deemed second-choice, to newly signed Gustavo Munúa. However, after the Uruguayan conceded ten goals in the first three matches, he was selected for the next two rounds, keeping clean sheets against UD Almería (1–0 away win)[3] and Real Madrid (0–0, at home);[4] he eventually lost his starting position again, finishing the campaign with 18 appearances as the Valencians eventually retained their top division status.[5]

On 20 June 2011, Reina signed for FC Cartagena of the second division.[6] After their relegation he moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Cypriot First Division's AEP Paphos FC.

Reina moved teams and countries again on 30 January 2013, signing with Superleague Greece club Atromitos F.C. as a replacement for PAOK FC-bound Charles Itandje.[7] He was mostly a backup to Velimir Radman, and left in June after making no official appearances.

On 2 July 2013, Reina returned to his country and penned a contract with Segunda División B side Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[8] He was an undisputed first-choice during his four-year spell, achieving promotion to the second division in his second season.

Reina cut ties with the club on 6 July 2017,[9] and signed for RCD Mallorca 13 days later.[10]
