David Vaněček (born 9 March 1991) is a Czech professional football player who played for Sigma Olomouc.[1] He has represented his country at Under-16, Under-18 and Under-19 level.

Career

He spent time on loan at six clubs over a three-year period between 2010 and 2013.[2] Vaněček signed a permanent contract with Hradec Králové in February 2014, tying him to the club until the end of the 2015–16 season.[2] He is the cousin of another David Vaněček; they played together at Sokolov.[2]

Vaněček joined Scottish Premiership side Heart of Midlothian in January 2019, having signed a pre-contract agreement in July 2018.[3] In his second appearance for the club he was described as "rubbish" by manager Craig Levein, and substituted after 34 minutes.[4] Levein later said that Vaněček had apologised to him for his lack of fitness.[5] Vanacek was released the following summer having left Hearts by mutual consent,[6] and two days later signed to Hungarian Nemzeti Bajnokság I team Puskás Akadémia.[7]
