In the Essen district of Holsterhausen , at the local TuS Essen-West , the higher-class football career of the attacker Heinz Reh began in the 1949/50 season with the rise from the Lower Rhine regional league to the 2nd division West . In the two rounds 1950/51 and 1951/52, Reh scored 24 goals for the team from Holsterhausen in 62 second division games. After the integration into the amateur camp after the second season through the introduction of the single-track 2nd division from the round 1952/53, TuS Essen had taken 12th place in 1951/52, Reh started the single-track 2nd division in 1952/53 , the offer of SG Wattenscheid 09 and switched to the team from the Lohrheidestadion . Under coachWalter Ochs took the black and whites in 5th place , local rivals VfL Bochum became champions. The eleven around goal scorer Reh, the newcomer from Essen, had scored 20 goals in 29 league appearances and thus achieved third place in the list of goalscorers in the 2nd division west behind Franz Alexius and Willi Koll , both 24 goals each. The home strength with 24: 6 points, without defeat, brought Wattenscheid to 5th place; with the 11:19 away points, the team missed a better placement. At the home game on January 11, 1953 against Bochum (1: 1) they had the best attendance of the round with 11,000 spectators. After this round, Reh could no longer be held in the 2nd division, he accepted the offer of the upper division Borussia Mönchengladbach for the 1953/54 season and moved to the team from the Bökelbergstadion .

In his first round Oberliga West, 1953/54, he scored 15 goals in 20 league appearances on the side of Heinz Janssen and Ewald Nienhaus ; Borussia landed in 12th place.

He had scored four goals again in 21 rounds.

In the second division, the 37-year-old veteran scored four goals in 24 rounds in 1957/58 in winning the runner-up and thus the immediate return to the top division for the team of coach Fritz Pliska .
