Club career
Early years
At the end of the 2007–08 season, in his first match for Slavia after his return from Jablonec, Necid scored a goal against Liberec. Slavia Prague won the 2007–08 Czech First League. In 2008, he won the Talent of the Year award at the Czech Footballer of the Year awards.[2] Necid played 16 games in the 2008–09 Czech First League and scored 11 goals (which was making him the season's top league scorer at the time he left).
CSKA Moscow and loan to Slavia Prague
In August 2008, CSKA Moscow, who had been interested in Necid since 2006,[3] signed a deal with Slavia Prague according to which Necid would stay at Slavia until the end of the year and would join CSKA in January 2009.[4]
On 6 January 2014, Necid moved to Slavia Prague on loan until the end of 2013–14 season.[5] In August 2014, he was sent on loan to Dutch Eredivisie team PEC Zwolle.[6]
Netherlands and Turkey
In 2015, Necid returned to PEC Zwolle as a free agent with a contract until the end of the 2014–15 season.[7] On 2 July 2015, Necid signed a four-year contract for Turkish Süper Lig club Bursaspor. He came to the club for a key role in filling the shoes of top goalscorer from 2014–15 season, Fernandão.[8]
On 30 January 2017, Necid moved to Legia Warsaw on loan for one-and-a-half year.[9] On 1 September 2017, he rejoined Slavia Prague on a season-long loan deal.[10] He left Slavia after the loan ended.[11]
Later career
On 28 August 2018, Necid joined Dutch team ADO Den Haag on a two-year contract after his Bursaspor contract was terminated.[12] On 12 October 2020, Necid joined Bohemians 1905 as a free agent and signed a contract until the end of the season.[13]
In June 2024, Necid joined Czech National Football League club Viktoria Žižkov as a free agent.[14] He scored 13 goals in 16 games before the mid-season break of the 2024–25 season, playing five further matches before being named the second league's Player of the Season on 21 May 2025.[15] Necid also finished the season as the league's top goalscorer with 17 goals.
International career
Youth sides
Necid took part in the 2006 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship, where the Czech Republic won a silver medal, as well as the 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship, where his nation reached the semi-final. In both tournaments he finished as the top scorer. He scored 7 goals in 8 matches for the under-16 side, and 11 goals in 18 matches for the under-17s. As well as representing the under-19s, where Necid scored 14 times in 20 appearances, he made a single appearance, without scoring, for the under-21 side.[16]
Senior side
His first match with the senior team took place on 19 November 2008, in a qualification match against San Marino. The Czech national football team won 3–0, with Necid scoring the third goal. In the game he became the youngest Czech Republic player to take part in qualification for a major tournament, and the youngest Czech to score a competitive goal.[17] He added another two goals - in a 7–0 win against San Marino, as well as a 2–0 victory against Poland - to finish World Cup qualification with three overall.[18][19]
Personal life
He is the older brother of Simona Necidová, who is also an international footballer.[20][21]
