Skácel, who was born in Prostějov, rose to fame as a 17-year-old goalkeeper while playing Czech First League football for SK Sigma Olomouc.[2] During his time at Olomouc, he also appeared for the club in the UEFA Cup.[3] He later went to SK Slavia Prague on a 12-month loan, although he didn't make a first-team league appearance for the club and only played for the reserve team in the third-tier Bohemian Football League.[3]

After four years outside the top flight, Skácel signed a contract with FC ViOn Zlaté Moravce who were playing in the 2007–08 Slovak Superliga.[4]
