BIOGRAPHY
Yordy Reyna was born September 17, 1993, in Chiclayo, Peru. He is a forward in the MLS.
Born in the city of Chiclayo, he moved to Lima at the age of 14. He gave such a good impression in his first try-out for Alianza Lima that he was given a place in the youth teams of the club. He continued to play well enough and this allowed him to rise through the ranks to the first team. His ability to create plays with short and long passes, score crucial goals and evade defenders with ease had earned him comparisons with his childhood idol Jefferson Farfán, a current Peruvian international and star with FC Schalke 04 in the German Bundesliga.
In the summer of 2013, Reyna signed with the Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg for a rumored transfer fee of 2 million euros. Reyna made his debut for Red Bull Salzburg in a friendly pre-season match where he had a spectacular performance and even scored the game-winner. Since his debut, he has been loaned to fellow Austrian clubs FC Liefering and SV Grödig. In January 2017 Reyna joined the Canadian club Vancouver Whitecaps FC. He injured his foot during a preseason friendly and missed the first four months of the MLS season. He made his club debut on July 1, 2017 and scored his first goal, a game-winner against New York City FC, a week later. On 19 September 2020, Reyna was traded by Vancouver Whitecaps FC to D.C. United in exchange for $400,000 in 2021 General Allocation Money. He made his debut on 27 September 2020, playing 68 minutes in a 0–2 loss against the New England Revolution.
On 17 December 2021, Reyna signed as a free agent for Charlotte FC ahead of their inaugural MLS season in 2022.
