When Cody Reinberg arrived at preseason training camp in mid-March, he was no different than any of the other first-year players the Harrisburg City Islanders have thoroughly checked out during their tremendously efficient six-year run in the USL Second Division.
Reinberg wanted minutes.
And he wanted to crack the starting lineup immediately.
Once the 24-year-old defender started competing against some of the veterans and other rookies Bill Becher and Steve Widdowson were evaluating, Reinberg decided that just making the opening-night roster and earning a contract were significant achievements all by themselves.
Cody’s played in 15 games, starting 9. Harrisburg plays Richmond on August 22nd with the winner going to the Title game on August 29th.
