Rubén Reyes Diaz (born 5 January 1979 in Gijón, Asturias) is a Spanish footballer who plays for CF Palencia in the Spanish third division, as a midfielder.
Reyes began his professional career with local Real Avilés Industrial, in Segunda División B. In 2000–01, he moved to La Liga with Asturias giants Real Oviedo, making his first appearance in round six, a 3–1 home success against Celta de Vigo; he scored in a 4–1 win over Real Valladolid, but the side failed to maintain its status, as second from bottom.
In the 2002–03 season, Reyes joined Villarreal CF, again in the top level. He appeared very rarely with the Valencian team, and finished the season with second division's Getafe CF. In the following campaign, also with the Madrid outfit, he saw it achieve a first-ever top flight promotion, but only saw action in two matches (both from the bench).
Reyes then signed for Albacete Balompié, but did not play one single second in the first part of 2004–05, due to injury. From January–June 2005, he was loaned to Pontevedra CF in level two, playing 15 times in a relegation-ending season. In the following year's January transfer window, the same befell, with Pontevedra now one division down, and staying down after failing in the promotion playoffs.
After being finally released by the Castile-La Mancha team, Reyes finally joined Pontevedra permanently, being one of the Galicians' cornerstones in 2006–07, although the club once again did not promote. The following season, he joined Rayo Vallecano, returning to the "silver category" immediately.
