Matěj Majka (born 31 January 2000) is a Czech semi-professional footballer who plays for Landesliga Bayern-Nordost club SV Mitterteich as a winger.
Majka is a product of the Sparta Prague academy and began his professional career in England with Brentford. He failed to break into the first team squad and following his release in 2020, he played lower league football in the Czech Republic and Germany. Majka was capped by the Czech Republic at youth level.
A winger, Majka entered the Sparta Prague academy at age 14 and progressed sufficiently to be awarded the Vlastislav Mareček Award at the 2016 FAČR Grassroots Gala.[3] [4] [5] [6] He was an unused substitute for the first team on two occasions during the 2016–17 season and appeared for the U19 team in Sparta's 2016–17 and 2017–18 UEFA Youth League campaigns. Majka departed the Stadion Letná when his contract expired in June 2018.
In August 2018, Majka moved to England to sign a two-year contract with the B team at Championship club Brentford on a free transfer, with the option of a further year. During his two seasons with the club, Majka made 62 B team appearances, scored five goals and was part of the squad which won the 2018–19 Middlesex Senior Cup.[7] [8] He was released in June 2020, when the club opted not to take up the option on his contract.[9]
In August 2020, Majka signed a two-year contract with newly promoted Czech National League club FC MAS Táborsko on a free transfer.[10] He made 20 appearances and scored one goal during the 2020–21 season. Majka departed the club during the 2021 off-season and on 16 September 2021,[11] he signed a contract with hometown Bohemian League A club FK Baník Sokolov.[12] Majka made 26 appearances and scored one goal prior to departing the club in January 2023.[13]
In January 2023, Majka transferred to German Landesliga Bayern-Nordost club SV Mitterteich. He made 31 appearances and scored three goals over the course of the 2022–23 and 2024-24 seasons.
Majka was capped by the Czech Republic between U15 and U19 level.[14]
