In 2019, he joined the reserve squad of English Premier League side Leicester City.[3][4] Prior to the latter half of the 2021–22 season, Reghba transferred to Algerian club CR Belouizdad.[5][6] He made his debut for Belouizdad on 7 March 2022 in a 2–0 victory against PAC.[7]

International career
Reghba’s heritage includes an Algerian father and an Irish mother, while he was born in Germany.
