Nuno Miguel Pereira Reis (born 31 January 1991) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Greek club Panathinaikos F.C. as a central defender.

Club career

Born in Murten, Switzerland to Portuguese immigrants, Reis joined Sporting Clube de Portugal's youth ranks in 2003 at the age of 12, from Fátima-based Associação Desportiva Recreativa Cultural Vasco da Gama. During his formative years with the Lisbon club he won eight titles (including five national championships),[1] going on to be part of the junior sides that conquered three consecutive leagues and being captain during the last year; in addition, he was called up for two first-team games, against C.F. Os Belenenses and Atlético Madrid (the latter in the UEFA Europa League).

After graduating from Sporting's academy, Reis was loaned out to Cercle Brugge K.S.V. in Belgium, alongside teammate Renato Neto. In his first season in the Pro League he scored one goal in 32 appearances (all starts), helping the team finish in ninth position.

On 29 January 2014, after one season with S.C. Olhanense – with which he made his Primeira Liga debuts – and five months with Sporting B, Reis returned to Cercle Brugge, on loan for the remainder of the campaign.[2] He left his parent club on 27 June 2015, signing a two-year deal at FC Metz which was orchestrated by the former's director Carlos Freitas.[3] He played 30 competitive matches as the season ended in promotion to Ligue 1, before he and compatriot André Santos were released.[4]

On 5 July 2016, Reis penned a three-year contract at Panathinaikos F.C. of Superleague Greece, on the recommendation of their director Gilberto Silva.[5]

International career

Reis captained the Portuguese under-20 side to the second place at the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup, playing all the matches and minutes in Colombia.[6] He made his debut for the under-21s on 5 September 2011, coming on as a substitute for João Pereira in the 62nd minute of a 1–0 friendly win with France.
