Jakub Brabec (born 6 August 1992) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a centre/right back for Greek Super League club Aris and the Czech national team.

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 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.

On August 31, Jakub signed a 4 year deal with Genk, where he will be playing as a centre back/right back.

On 31 August 2021, Aris officially announced the signing of Brabec for an undisclosed fee on a three-year contract. [7] On 18 October 2021, he scored his first goal sealing a precious 1-0 away win against Lamia. [8]

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.[9]

Later in 2009, he made his debut for the Czech Republic under-19s in a 4–0 win over the Malta under-19s.[9][10]

He was selected as captain of the Czech Republic under-19s squad for the 2011 UEFA European Under-19 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.[11] The Czech Republic finished the tournament as losing finalists to Spain.[12]
