Club career

Liverpool

Sokolík joined the youth academy of Baník Ostrava when he was 6 years old in 1999. He signed for the Liverpool youth academy in 2009.[1] He made his debut for the reserve team against Everton reserves.[2]

After a successful trial,[3] Sokolík joined Southend United in League Two on loan on 11 March 2014 for the rest of the season.[4] His first involvement with the club was in a match against Scunthorpe United where he was an unused substitute.[5] He made his debut for the club in a match against Bury on 15 March 2014. He started the match instead of Mark Philips.[6]

At the end of 2013–14 season, Sokolík was released by Liverpool.[7]

Yeovil Town

Soon after being released by Liverpool, Sokolík signed for Yeovil Town on a two-year contract on 30 June 2014 despite interests to make a return to Southend United on a permanent basis.[8][9]

On 31 October 2014, Sokolík rejoined Southend United on a one-month loan deal.[10] The next day, Sokolík made his first appearance since his return, in a 2–1 win over Mansfield Town.[11] Soon after, Sokolík loan spell with Southend United was extended until 3 January 2015.[12] However, Sokolík's loan spell with Southend United was soon cut after a knee injury kept him out for three months.[13]

He was released by Yeovil at the end of the 2015–16 season.[14]

Southend United

On 29 July 2016, Sokolík signed for Southend United on a five-month contract until 31 December 2016 with a view to a longer-term deal.[15]

Plymouth Argyle

On 4 January 2017, Plymouth Argyle confirmed Sokolík had joined them after his contract at Southend United ran down.[16]

Sokolík featured heavily in the remainder of the 2016–17 season, playing eighteen times and even scoring on his debut against Yeovil Town. But he featured very little in the 2017–18 season, with just five appearances coming his way by the start of the new year. Sokolík left Argyle by mutual consent on 31 January 2018.[17]
