On 19 June 2019, Škvarka joined Ferencváros on a three-year contract for a sum of 200 thousand Euros. It was also revealed that Ferencváros had seriously contented for his services even in winter of 2018–19 season, but the transfer did not take place due to Škvarka's injury.[3] On 16 June 2020, he became champion with Ferencváros by beating Budapest Honvéd FC at the Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion on the 30th match day of the 2019–20 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season.[4]

He debuted against the former opponent, playing from the start and playing the entire match as Slovakia went on to lose the game 1–3.[7] Škvarka also played the first half of the match against Sweden (0–6 loss), when he was replaced by Martin Bukata.[8]
