Jakub Pešek (born 24 June 1993) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a winger for Bohemian Football League club Sparta Prague B.[1]

Career

Pešek made his professional debut for Sparta Prague in the Czech First League on 9 November 2014, coming on as a substitute against Slovácko in a 2–0 away win.[2]

In January 2015, Pešek went on loan to České Budějovice before being signed permanently in mid-2017.[3] Having scored 6 times in 28 league games for Budějovice in the 2017–18 season, he moved to Slovan Liberec at the start of the 2018–19 Czech First League.[4] He rejoined Sparta Prague after the 2020–21 season, signing a three-year contract.[5]

On 27 January 2025, Pešek moved to Polish third-tier club Wieczysta Kraków, signing an eighteen-month deal with an option for a further year.[6] After featuring once for Wieczysta during the 2025–26 season, he terminated his contract by mutual consent on 9 February 2026.[7] On the same day, Pešek signed a two-year contract with Czech First League club Zlín.[8] On 1 July 2026, Pešek signed a contract with Bohemian Football League club Sparta Prague B.[9]

International career

On 7 September 2020, Pešek received his first call-up to the Czech Republic national team for 2020–21 UEFA Nations League B match against Scotland, in which he eventually debuted and scored the opening goal in the 12th minute, ending in a 1–2 loss for the Czechs.[10]
