Club career

FK Senica

Youth and first-team breakout

He began his football career at Tatran Bzenica, from where he moved to FK Pohronie and then to Senica during his youth career. On February 25, 2015, he won the poll for the best athlete of the city in the autumn of 2014 in the U19 collective category.[1] He played as a winger in the academy before transitioning into a defender.[2]

During the spring part of the 2014/15 season, Pittmer worked his way into the first team. He debuted in a Slovak Cup match against FC Spartak Trnava, coming on as a substitute for an injured Petr Pavlík.[3] Pittner made his debut in the Slovak top flight under coach Jozef Kostelník in the league match of the 23rd round on 20 March 2015 in the derby against TJ Spartak Myjava, when he replaced Jozef Dolný in the 75th minute.[4][5] He featured in the final of the 2015 Slovak cup, replacing Luboš Hušek in the 113th minute.[6] In May 2015, Pittner was sidelined for the rest of the season due to an injury to his hamstring.[7] In the summer of 2015, he signed a new contract with the team until the end of the 2017/18 season.[2]

Loan to Pohronie

In 2016, Pittner was loaned out to FK Pohronie.[8] In his first season, he only played 10 games because of a recurring knee injury.[8]
