Club career

Early career

Born in Bojnice, Vlasko began playing youth football for Prievidza. He also played for the youth sides of Sparta Prague and Dubnica.[2]

Liberec

In 2007, Vlasko joined Czech Gambrinus liga side Slovan Liberec. He made his professional debut for Slovan Liberec, entering as a second-half substitute against Sparta Prague, in May 2007.[3]

Spartak Trnava

In February 2013, it was announced that Vlako would be transferring to Slovak first league club, Spartak Trnava. He made his league debut for Spartak in a 1–1 draw against MŠK Žilina.[4] In the 2014/2015 Fortuna league season, he scored 11 league goals in 30 appearances.[5][6] In July 2015, he started a match for Trnava in the first qualifying round of the 2015/16 UEFA Europa League against the Bosnian club FK Olimpik Sarajevo, where Spartak would advance.[7]

Zaglebie Lubin

After the Europa League qualifying round in July 2015, Vlasko was bought by Polish club Zaglebie Lubin for €180,000, where he signed a three-year contract.[2][7] However, he did not get many opportunities on the pitch in the Polish team[8] and on September 1, 2017, he agreed to terminate his contract.

Return to Spartak

After the end of his contract with Zaglebie, he returned to Spartak Trnava in September 2017.[9] In the 2017/2018 season, he played 20 matches for the club in the Fortuna League and scored 2 goals, contributing to the league title.[10] In the 2018/19 season, Vlasko scored the winning goal in a 1–0 win against FC ViOn Zlaté Moravce, converting a penalty in the 60th minute.[11] In the Champions League, he scored a goal in the 93rd minute in the 2nd qualifying round against Legia Warsaw, securing a 2–0 away win for Spartak.[12] In August 2018, Vlasko left Spartak Trnava to join Puskás Akadémia FC after a disagreement with the new head coach of Trnava.[13][14]
