Strengths
- Proven scoring record — He showed consistent goal output, scoring 20 in 83 games at Slovan Liberec and 15 in 43 games at Zbrojovka Brno.
- National team experience — Having earned a Czech national team cap shows he reached the peak level of his career.
- Physical build — His 1.90m frame gives him an edge in aerial duels and physical contests.
Development Areas
- Age — At 35, he fits a short-term rather than long-term contribution profile.
- 2025-26 output — In his first season at Skalica, 3 goals in 18 games falls short of his output at previous clubs.
- Career instability — His numerous clubs and loan spells point to a search for long-term settlement in one system.
Level Projection
Verdict: An experienced Czech striker with a Slovan Liberec and Viktoria Plzeň past and national team experience; not a direct Süper Lig target, but a profile whose short-term goal contribution is worth tracking.
