Juraj Piroska (born 27 February 1987) is a Slovak football striker who currently plays for the Slovak Corgoň Liga club FK Senica.

Club career

Piroska began playing football in Slovan Bratislava at the age of 6. He joined German side SC Freiburg youth squad in 2004. There he spent one-and-a-half year and came back to Slovakia, signing for AS Trenčín. He absented himself most of time in Trenčín due to his injury of a backbone.

In January 2006, he moved to Artmedia Petržalka. His breakthrough came in 2007–08, winning the Double.

On 16 February 2009, he signed three-year contract for AC Sparta Praha. He played for Sparta only 16 minutes at the Gambrinus liga and moved on loan to FK Senica in July 2009.

His good form in Senica switched to transfer in June 2010. He scored his first hat-trick in a 5–0 away win against Nitra on 4 March 2011.

Piroska made his debut for the national team in a 1–0 away win against Andorra on 26 March 2011.
