Tomáš Sivok (born 15 September 1983) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Turkish club Bursaspor in Süper Lig. He made his debut for the Czech national team on 3 September 2005. His primary position is defender but he can play in midfield.

Career

In September 2005, Sivok became a captain of Sparta. He was captain of the Czech Republic national under-21 football team in 2006.

In the middle of 2006, Sivok became a main face of a Czech government anti-racist campaign which is called Together Against The Racism.

He signed for Udinese during the January 2007 transfer window. It is believed that Udinese paid Sparta Prague a transfer fee of about 2.5 million pounds for Sivok's service and Sivok signed in a four-and-a-half-year contract through the summer of 2011. In May 2008, he was sold by Udinese to the Turkish side Beşiktaş J.K. for €4.7 million. He signed a four-plus-one-year contract worth €800,000 per season and up to €100,000 in bonuses; his salary would have risen to €1.2 million if he had extended his contract to 2013.^[1]

Personal

Sivok married Michaela Šachlová on 9 March 2009 in İstanbul.^[2] The couple have given a birth to their first child, a son named Andre Tomas.^[3]
