Club career
Spartak Trnava
Procházka began his career with his hometown club Spartak Trnava. On 13 May 2007, he made his debut for Spartak first team against Eldus Močenok at the age of 18.[2]
Levski Sofia
Procházka signed with Bulgarian side Levski Sofia on 14 June 2012 on a three-year deal.[3] He made his debut for Levski on 19 July, in a 1–0 home win over FK Sarajevo in a UEFA Europa League match.[4] He made his Bulgarian A Group debut on 11 August, starting in a 1–0 home win over Chernomorets Burgas. Procházka made only 16 league starts throughout his first season with Levski.
Spartak Trnava (loan)
On 19 June 2013, Procházka was loaned to his previous club Spartak Trnava on a season-long deal.[5]
Return to Levski
In June 2014, Procházka returned to Levski. After a successful pre-season with the Blues, he was included in Pepe Murcia's squad for the campaign.[6] On 2 August 2014, Procházka scored his debut goal for Levski in a 1–0 win against Lokomotiv Sofia at Georgi Asparuhov Stadium. During the season he became an integral part of the team.
On 18 June 2015, Procházka signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him at Levski until 2016.[7][8] In July, he was announced as the vice captain. He was given the captain's armband in Levski's first game of the 2015–16 season against Botev Plovdiv. Procházka signed a two-and-a-half-year extension to his current contract with Levski on 30 November 2015, keeping him in the club until 31 December 2018. On 1 October 2017, Procházka played in a 1–0 home win over Cherno More, becoming the foreign player with the most top division appearances for Levski Sofia.[9]
Viktoria Plzeň
On 29 May 2018, Procházka was signed for free by Czech club Viktoria Plzeň after his contract with Levski expired and was not renewed.[10] Throughout the majority of his stint at Plzeň, Procházka was a regular member of the starting eleven. He also played in five of their six Champions League group stage matches in their 2018–19 european campaign. On 27 November, he scored his only Champions League goal against CSKA Moscow. In the spring, he also played in both Europa League round of 32 matches against Dinamo Zagreb.
In late January 2020, Plzeň's new coach Adrián Guľa told Procházka that he would give space to the other players. He also said that Procházka would only be his fourth of fifth midfield choice and he had permission to find himself a new club.[11]
Górnik Zabrze
On 27 January 2020, Procházka signed a one-and-a-half-year deal with Polish side Górnik Zabrze.[12]
Spartak Trnava
After his contract in Zabrze expired, Procházka returned to Spartak Trnava after seven years abroad. He signed a two-year contract with the club.[13][14][15] He won the Slovak Cup with Spartak in the 2021–22, 2022–23 and 2024–25 seasons.[16][17][18] He is currently vice-capitan for league games and captain for European games.[19]
Procházka played the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home defeat to BK Häcken in the first round of qualification to the Europa League.[20] He scored a direct free-kick in the second leg to tie the score at 1–1.[21]
International career
Procházka made his debut for Slovakia in a 2–1 away win against Austria on 10 August 2011.[22] In that match, he came on as a substitute for Juraj Kucka in 79th minute.
