Career edit

Sparta and loans edit

Podaný played for Sparta Prague between 2009 and 2015, going out on loan numerous times during that period.

Podaný played 11 matches and scored two goals for Indian Super League team Atlético de Kolkata in 2014. In the 2014 Indian Super League final, Podaný assisted the only goal of the game, scored by Mohammed Rafique, as his team won the inaugural competition.[1]

Later career edit

Podaný headed to Slovakia in 2015, signing a two-year contract with Slovak First Football League side Slovan Bratislava.[2] He moved back to the Czech Republic a year later, joining Dukla Prague in July 2016 as one of three defenders to join the club as free agents during the off-season.[3] He scored his first league goal for Dukla in the first match after the Czech First League's winter break in February 2017, away against Hradec Králové. His goal, which came from a direct free kick, opened the scoring in the march which finished 2–0 to the visitors.[4]

After Dukla Prague's relegation during the 2018–19 Czech First League, Podaný joined First League side Bohemians 1905 on a season-long loan for the 2019–20 season.[5] He then left Dukla permanently, signing for Jablonec in the summer of 2020.[6] In 2021, Podaný continued his football on an amateur level, featuring for Regional Championship (fifth-tier) side SK Hřebeč and sustaining a knee injury in a game against TJ Klíčany.[7]
