[1] Born in Amsterdam, Reuser began his career at Dutch club Ajax and, having joined at youth level, made the step up to play in the first team.

He was a skilful, goal-scoring midfielder who looked capable of being a permanent fixture in the Dutch national setup.

He made only one appearance for the first team and he was loaned to English club Ipswich Town in the 1999–2000 season after being scouted by Romeo Zondervan.

Despite this, he managed to score six goals in his first full season with the club, establishing himself as one of the most dangerous attacking midfielders in the Premier League, helping Ipswich to an impressive fifth-place finish in the 2000–01 season and a return for the club to UEFA Cup football.

[11] Beside his job for the Dutch U15 national team, Reuser joined ADO Den Haag in June 2015 as assistant coach for their U17s.

[13] After leaving ADO in June 2018, Reuser worked in several roles for the Dutch youth national teams.
