Matúš Holíček (born 25 January 2005) is a Slovakian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League Two club Crewe Alexandra.
A graduate of Crewe Alexandra's Academy, Holíček signed a professional contract in 2022 despite having only completed the first year of his scholarship,[2] before he made his debut for the club as a second-year scholar in their EFL Trophy game against Leeds United U21s on 1 November 2022, playing the first 54 minutes before being replaced by Tariq Uwakwe.[3]
On his 18th birthday (25 January 2023), Holíček signed a long-term deal through to summer 2025, with an option for two further years.[4] On 18 March 2023, Holíček made his first league appearance for Crewe, coming on as a 77th minute substitute for Callum Ainley in the side's 1–0 League Two defeat at Northampton Town.[5] He scored his first Crewe goal in his side's 3–1 League Two win at Barrow on 20 January 2024.[6]
After making seven appearances for Slovakia at Under-15 and eight appearances at Under-17 levels,[7] Holíček was called up for their Under-18 squad for a friendly tournament, playing all three games against USA, Mexico and Finland on 21, 23 and 25 September 2022 respectively.[8]
