David Hrnčár (born 10 December 1997) is a Slovak professional footballer who currently plays for Dender EH as a right midfielder.[1]

Club career

Hrnčár made his Fortuna Liga debut for Slovan Bratislava against Zemplín Michalovce on 5 August 2018.[2]

On 19 January 2022, it was announced that Hrnčár would move to Beveren of the Belgian second division on loan until June 2023 with option to buy.[3] He was going to aid Beveren for title and promotion and set to wear jersey number 22.[4] The club later activated the option for a permanent transfer.[5]

After almost two years of playing for Beveren, Hrnčár transferred to a newly promoted top flight club Dender EH, signing a two-year contract with an option for a third year.[6]

International career

In March 2021, Hrnčár was included in the national team reserve squad by head coach Štefan Tarkovič for three World Cup qualifiers.[7] Hrnčár entered the shortlisted 27-man squad in September 2022 replacing injured Ivan Schranz for four 2022–23 UEFA Nations League C fixtures.[8] However, he failed to repeat the nomination for November friendlies or prospective national team players' training camp in December, only listed as an alternate.[9][10]

On 7 June 2025, Hrnčár made his debut for the Slovakia national football team in a friendly match against Greece.[11]

Personal life

His father, Norbert, is a former footballer who played twice for Slovakia and most recently managed Zemplín Michalovce.[12]
