The Chilean international has embarked on his latest posting away from Carrow Road in the National League, with his latest appearance coming from the bench in a frantic 3-2 victory over Scunthorpe United on Saturday.
Reyes' Journey Through Various Leagues
Reyes made four Championship appearances for City in 2024/25, but has also featured on loan for Cambridge United, Forest Green Rovers, Braintree, and Peterborough United, gaining experience across League One, League Two, and the National League.
That variety of experiences has enriched his footballing development as he bids to make the most of another opportunity for regular senior minutes at Woking.
"I've been at Norwich for three seasons and have been all over the place with loans," Reyes told the Woking News and Mail.
"It's important for a young goalie to get his games in, and here's a good place to be and to play. I'm eager to get better and am always looking forward."
Impressive Debut at Woking
Reyes made an immediate impression at Woking, saving the decisive penalty in a National League Cup shootout victory over Leicester City Under-21s on his debut. Woking won the shootout 4-3 after the contest finished 2-2. Read more about Bassong Triumphs in Boxing Debut, Stops Traore.
"I'm really happy to get in the squad and play," said Reyes. "I've been here for a week, so I'm getting used to all the lads, but they've been treating me well."
"It was a tough start. I thought we had the edge at the end, but we conceded a poor goal. We take two points out of it, so can't be too mad about it."
"I've been part of two penalty shootouts this season and won both. I do back myself, like every goalie should in those moments," he added.
