Patrik Hellebrand (born 16 May 1999) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Ekstraklasa club Korona Kielce and the Czech Republic national team.

Club career

He made his senior league debut for Zlín on 20 May 2017 in their 1–0 away loss at Dukla Prague, his only league match for the team. Upon the end of his youth contract in 2017, Hellebrand signed a professional contract with Zlín's regional rivals Slovácko.[3]

On 20 May 2024, Hellebrand agreed to join Polish club Górnik Zabrze as a free agent in July 2024 on a three-year deal.[1] In the 2025–26 season, he made 39 appearances across all competitions, recording four goals and two assists, as Górnik finished as runners-up in the Ekstraklasa and won the Polish Cup.[4]

On 16 June 2026, Hellebrand made a surprise move to fellow Ekstraklasa club Korona Kielce, who finished the previous season in 11th place, after his €1.7 million release clause was triggered. He signed a three-year contract with an option for another year.[5]
