Enayati played as a [striker](/source/Forward_(association_football)#Striker) in the [Persian Gulf Pro League](/source/Persian_Gulf_Pro_League) and for the [Iran national football team](/source/Iran_national_football_team). He is the [all-time top goalscorer](/source/List_of_Iran_Pro_League_all-time_top_goal_scorers) in the Persian Gulf Pro League.

## Club career

Reza Enayati started out his professional career playing for his hometown club [Aboomoslem](/source/F.C._Aboumoslem). He had a number of impressive seasons there, especially the [2001–02](/source/2001%E2%80%9302_Iran_Pro_League) season where he finished as the [league](/source/Iran's_Premier_League_football)'s top goalscorer and was called up to the [national team](/source/Iran_national_football_team).

He remained in Aboomoslem for the [2002–03](/source/2002%E2%80%9303_Iran_Pro_League) season but the year after and after being linked with a move to [Persepolis](/source/Persepolis_F.C.), he signed with [Esteghlal](/source/Esteghlal_F.C.). He was not able to impress in his first season in [Tehran](/source/Tehran), but in the [2004–05](/source/2004%E2%80%9305_Iran_Pro_League) season he was able to show his talents and was able to finish as the [IPL](/source/Iran's_Premier_League_football)'s top goalscorer again with 20 goals. The next season, he was just as impressive, scoring 21 goals, finishing as the league's top scorer and helping his club Esteghlal win the championship and also broke the record of scoring in a season in Iran and he is the all-time top scorer of [Persian Gulf Cup](/source/Persian_Gulf_Cup). After [World Cup 2006](/source/2006_FIFA_World_Cup) he signed with the Emirates club. On 19 March 2007, Enayati extended his contract with [UAE League](/source/UAE_League) side [Al-Emarat](/source/Al-Emarat) in a deal that will keep him there until the end of the 2007–08 season.

In 2008, he secured a six-month contract with [Al-Nasr](/source/Al_Nasr_SC_(Dubai)). In July 2009 season he moved back to [Esteghlal](/source/Esteghlal_F.C.) but after half a season he moved to Emirate league once again and joined [Emirates](/source/Emirates_Club) where he scored 8 goals. For 2010–11 season Enayati signed with [Sepahan](/source/Sepahan) for one year and joined his former coach [Amir Ghalenoei](/source/Amir_Ghalenoei) where he helped the club to win the league title. He then joined to [Saba Qom](/source/Saba_Qom_F.C.) and later [Mes Kerman](/source/Mes_Kerman_F.C.). He returned to Saba on 1 July 2013. On 7 May 2014, he signed a contract with [Padideh](/source/Padideh_F.C.), effective from 1 July. He was given number 10 shirt. He made his debut for Padideh in 0–0 draw against [Malavan](/source/Malavan_F.C.) on 1 August 2014. He scored his first goal for Padideh in next match, where they won the match against [Naft Masjed Soleyman](/source/Naft_Masjed_Soleyman_F.C.) 3–0, which Enayati scored the final goal.

Enayati moved back to Esteghlal on 31 December 2014.[4]
