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.

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]
