Adam Hložek (born 25 July 2002) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a forward for Czech First League club Sparta Prague and the Czech Republic national team.[1]

Club career[]

Hložek was 12 years old when transferred from his hometown club Ivančice to Sparta Prague along with his older brother Daniel.[2] Just 4 years later, on 2 October 2018, he made his debut for the first team in a Czech Cup match against Slavoj Polná as a substitution, scoring the final goal in a 4–1 away win.[3] Hložek made his league debut for Sparta Prague on 10 November 2018 in their 3–1 win at Karviná at the age of 16 years, 3 months and 16 days, becoming the youngest Sparta player to appear in a league match.[1][4]

Hložek finished the 2020–21 Czech First League as joint top scorer, alongside Jan Kuchta with 15 goals, despite missing four months of the season due to injury.[5] On 30 May 2021, a day after scoring four first-half goals in a 6–1 win away to Zbrojovka Brno, Hložek signed a new contract extension until 2024 with Sparta Prague. Hložek finished the 2020–21 league season with 15 goals and seven assists in 19 games.[6]

International career[]

He made his Czech Republic national football team debut on 4 September 2020 in a UEFA Nations League game against Slovakia.[7] In May 2021, Hložek was called up by the Czech Republic for their UEFA Euro 2020 campaign.[8]
