Life and career

Club career

Jakub was part of the youth system at Sparta Prague, but having been released in the summer of 2008 he joined Viktoria Žižkov, another Prague-based club.[1] He was promoted to the Žižkov first team during the 2008-09 Gambrinus liga season, when he was still at school.[2] He made one league appearance for the club in this season, playing a full match against FC Viktoria Plzen as a 16-year-old in a 2-0 defeat.[3]

In the 2009–10 season, he played a further 14 games for Žižkov, who were then playing in the second tier Czech 2. Liga. One of the fourteen appearances was as a substitute. In one match in this season, against FC Zenit Čáslav, he received a 31st-minute red card.[3] He made six appearances in the Czech 2. Liga in the following 2010–11 season, four of which were as a substitute. He helped Žižkov achieve a second-place league finish and a promotion back to the Gambrinus liga.[3]

In June 2011, he secured a move back to Sparta Prague, for an undisclosed fee.[4][5] He told Uefa.com that his primary motivation for making the transfer was that he was a childhood fan of his former club and that he would have a better chance of playing in the Uefa Cup and the Uefa Champions League.[6] He started the 2011-12 season with the reserve team, Sparta Prague II, who compete in the 2. Liga.

International career

Jakub has represented the Czech Republic at youth international level. He scored his first national goal on his third and final appearance for the Czech Republic under-18s in a 3-1 loss to the Austria under-18s in a March 2010 friendly match.[7]

Later in 2009, he made his debut for the Czech Republic under-19s in a 4-0 win over the Malta under-19s.[7][8]

He was selected as captain of the Czech Republic under-19s squad for the 2011 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship.[6] His first goal at under-19 level came in this tournament. He scored a header in a group game tournament fixture against the Republic of Ireland under-19s to equalise 1-1 on 23 July 2011; the Czechs went on to win 2-1.[9] The Czech Republic finished the tournament as losing finalists to Spain.[10]
