Zdeněk Ondrášek (born 22 December 1988) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a forward for Dynamo České Budějovice.
Ondrášek started his career in the South-Bohemian side České Budějovice in 2007, doing a short loan-spell at FC Zenit Čáslav in 2009.[1] Upon returning to Dynamo, he delivered a decent season, becoming the top scorer for the club during the 2010–11 Czech First League. The following season he was seen as the key pillar of the team, scoring eight league goals in twenty rounds. The last two matches he was injured due to a fractured finger. His good performance drew the attention of foreign clubs. Upon his transfer to Tromsø in 2012, the manager of Dynamo Jiří Kotrba noted that if the sale went through it would be an historic event, as it was the first time in history that Dynamo had sold a player directly abroad.[2]
Ondrášek joined the Norwegian side Tromsø IL on a loan in March 2012.[3] He made an immediate impact on the club. In the league opener, Ondrášek came in off the bench for his debut and, despite heavy snow, scored the only goal in a 1-0 win against Fredrikstad FK.[4] His starting debut came a week later 4 April during an away draw against Aalesunds FK.[5] He continued playing well and contributed a total of 8 goals in 14 matches before Tromsø IL decided to make the move permanent and signed him to a contract that will see him stay at the club until 2015.[6] The season proved to be a great success for the Czech striker, seeing him score 14 goals and becoming the top goalscorer in the league that season.[7] This was just two goals short of his pre-season pledge of 16.[8]
Ondrášek was transferred to Polish first-division team Wisła Kraków in 2016, where he has appeared in 66 matches in Ekstraklasa, scoring 20 goals and nine assists. He has also scored one goal and one assist in three Polish Cup matches.
Ondrášek signed with FC Dallas of Major League Soccer on 18 December 2018.[9]
On 13 September 2020, Ondrášek signed for Viktoria Plzeň for an undisclosed fee. He made the decision to return to the Czech Republic for family reasons.[10]
Ondrášek signed with Romanian Liga 1 club FCSB on 28 June 2021.[11] On 29 July, club owner Gigi Becali terminated his contract after just one month at the club and 68 minutes of total playing time.[12] Becali said, "This is not a player for our team, it does not reach our level".[13]
On 30 August 2021, Tromsø IL announced that Ondrášek had signed with the club, reuniting him with the team.[14]
Having left Tromsø at the end of 2021, he returned to Wisła Kraków after signing a one-and-a-half-year deal with the Polish side on 7 January 2022.[15]
On 23 June 2023 Ondrášek signed as a free agent with Dynamo České Budějovice a two-year contract.[16]
On 2 October 2019, Ondrášek received his first senior call up from the Czech Republic for their UEFA Euro 2020 qualifier against England.[17] On 11 October in his international debut, he came on as a substitute and scored the winning goal for the Czech Republic in their 2–1 victory over England.[18]
Nicknamed "The Cobra" (Czech: Kobra) due to a large tattoo of a cobra on his back, Ondrášek sports a host of other tattoos.[19]
