Jakub Sokolík (born 28 August 1993) is a Czech professional footballer who plays for Yeovil Town as a defender.
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 after he was spotted by Eduardo Macia, Liverpool's chief scout.[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 2014.[12] However, Sokolík's loan spell with Southend United was soon cut after a knee injury kept him out for three months.[13]
