Club career

Dočkal began his football career in Poděbrady. The midfielder moved to Slavia Praha at the age of 10. Dočkal went through all the youth teams of Slavia and made his debut on the first team against SK Kladno. He scored his first goal for Slavia in his third match against FK Teplice. Dočkal was sent on a loan to Czech First League side Slovan Liberec in winter 2008, where he signed a contract several months later.[1]

Dočkal went on a one-year loan to Turkish Super League side Konyaspor in July 2010.[2]

In August 2011 Dočkal signed a long term contract with Norwegian side Rosenborg.[3] He contributed with one assist in his first game, where Rosenborg won 3–1 over rivals Molde. During the UEFA Europa League 2012–13, he scored 7 goals in 12 matches (6 goals in 7 games over the course of the preliminary stages), including a dramatic last-minute goal against Kazakh club FC Ordabasy on 26 July 2012, to propel 9-man Rosenborg to a 4–3 aggregate win.[4] After two years with Rosenborg, during which he scored 14 goals in 55 league-matches, Dočkal returned to the Czech Republic in August 2013 signing a three-year contract with Sparta Prague.[5]

In February 2018, Dočkal signed a loan move with the Philadelphia Union in Major League Soccer.[6]
