Early life

Rezaeian was born in Semes Kandeh-ye Olya, a village in Sari County, Mazanderan.[3]

Club career

Saba Qom

Rezaeian played his entire career for Saba Qom before signing for Rah Ahan in 2013.[4] He made 98 appearances for the club scoring seven goals.

Rah Ahan

Rezaeian signed a three–year with the Tehran-based club Rah Ahan in 2013. After several good performances in the 2014–15 season, Rezaeian was recognized as one of the best fullbacks in the league and was called up to the national team. On 3 April 2015, Rezaeian scored his team's first goal in a 2–2 draw against Persepolis. Two weeks later, on 17 April, he scored a brace in a 2–2 draw against Esteghlal Khuzestan.

Persepolis

Rezaeian joined Persepolis on 27 June 2015 with a two-year contract.[5] He scored his first goal for Persepolis in a 2–0 victory against Siah Jamegan. On 26 December 2015, Rezaeian scored a 30-yard free kick against Padideh in stoppage time to earn them a 2–2 draw. He also scored the third goal for Persepolis in the Tehran derby against Esteghlal F.C. on 15 April 2016. Persepolis won that derby 4-2. After initially signing a contract with Turkish Süper Lig club Rizespor in the summer of 2016,[6] Rezaeian cancelled his contract and re–joined Persepolis.

After an altercation with teammate Ali Alipour during a training camp before an AFC Champions League match, Rezaeian was told to train by himself. After a few weeks, his contract was eventually terminated with Persepolis and he was released.

Oostende

After rejecting an offer from Tehran rivals Esteghlal F.C., Rezaeian joined Belgian club K.V. Oostende on 9 July 2017 with a two-year contract after a successful trial period at the club. Ramin made his debut on 27 July 2017 in a 3rd round Europa League qualifier against French club Olympique de Marseille. Oostende lost the match 4–2 and Rezaeian played the full 90 minutes.

Al Shahania

On 6 November 2018, Rezaeian joined Qatar Stars League side Al Shahania.[7] In his first match with the club, on 8 November, Ramin scored a free kick goal in his team's 5–1 loss to Al Duhail. On 23 November, in his second match with his club, Ramin assisted his team's only goal in a 1–0 win against Al-Kharitiyath.

Al-Duhail

On 22 August 2020, Rezaeian signed a two year contract with Qatar Stars League champion, Al-Duhail.

Al-Sailiya

After the engagement of the new trainer from Al-Duhail, Rezaein was loaned to Al-Sailiya.

Persepolis

On 12 February 2022, Rezaeian signed a contract with Persian Gulf Pro League champions Persepolis.[8][9]
