Jan Sýkora (born 29 December 1993) is a Czech footballer who plays as a midfielder for Jablonec on loan from Slavia Prague in the Fortuna Liga.[1]

Club career

He began his professional career at Sparta Prague, but failed to make a league appearance for their first team. He also spent time on loan at Zbrojovka Brno.

In 2015, he transferred to Slovan Liberec. On 15 September 2016 he scored the fastest-ever goal of UEFA Europa League, finding the net after just 10.69 seconds in Liberec's group stage match against Qarabağ FK.[2][3]
In total, he made 34 league appearances for Liberec, scoring one goal.

Slavia Prague

After a lengthy battle for his signature between Slavia Prague and Viktoria Plzeň, the two frontrunners for the league title at the time, Sýkora signed for Slavia Prague in January 2017.[4]

On 22 November 2018, Sýkora signed a new contract with Slavia until the summer of 2022.[5]

In February 2019, he returned to Slovan Liberec on loan until the end of the season.[6]

International career

Sýkora got his first call up to the senior Czech Republic side for a friendly against Armenia and a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Northern Ireland in August 2016.[7]
