Reith was born at Lurgan in May 1948, and was educated there at Lurgan College.[1] Playing his club cricket for Waringstown,[1] Reith made his debut in first-class cricket for Ireland against Scotland at Perth in 1970.[2] He played first-class cricket for Ireland from 1970–1980, playing in nine first-class matches.[2] He scored a total of 346 runs across his nine matches, with a batting average of 21.62, with a high score of 82.[3] This score, which was one of two first-class half centuries he made, came on debut in 1970.[4] In July 1980, Reith played in Ireland's first-ever List A match against Middlesex in the Gillette Cup at Lord's.[5] Opening the batting alongside Jack Short, Reith became the first Irishman to be dismissed for a duck in List A cricket, when he was dismissed first ball by Wayne Daniel.[6] Outside of cricket, he worked as a manager in the leisure industry.[1]
