The Liverpool goalkeeper joined us on loan until the end of the season in January.
The 20-year-old Czech youth international arrived at Anfield in 2017 from Slavia Prague, initially joining Steven Gerrard’s Under 18s’ team and helping the Reds win the prestigious FA Youth Cup in his second season on Merseyside.
He went on to make his first senior appearance in a friendly against Tranmere Rovers in 2019-20 before kicking on last season, being named on the bench for Liverpool’s Champions League matches against Ajax and FC Midtjylland and starting against Tranmere and Port Vale in the EFL Trophy.
Later in the campaign he joined Irish top-flight side St Patrick’s Athletic in what proved to be a hugely successful loan move as he kept 11 clean sheets in 38 matches and scooped the club’s Player of the Season and the League of Ireland's Goalkeeper of the Year awards.
And his stay in Ireland reached the perfect conclusion in late November as St Pat’s emerged victorious from a closely-contested FAi Cup final against Bohemians played out in front of 37,000 fans at the Aviva Stadium.
