For the 2005–06 season, he joined Sportfreunde Siegen who played in the 2. Bundesliga at the time. [4]

Arminia Bielefeld contract

Whilst signing for Arminia Bielefeld, Reina had an unusual stipulation inserted into his contract stating that the club must build a new house for him for every year that he spent with them. Because the type or size of the houses were not specified, the club made three Lego houses for Reina, leading to a legal disagreement that was settled out of court. [5] [6]
