Born on the 13th of August 2000, Tomas Cvancara has forged a formidable path in the world of football. Originating from Czech Republic, he primarily plays as a striker for Celtic, standing tall at 6ft 2in (1.9m) and weighing in at 13st 7lb (86kg). His performances on the pitch are done so wearing the number 11 jersey.
Evaluated by Transfermarkt to be worth a sturdy £2m, Čvančara started his journey from Slavia Prague before transferring to Jablonec in 2018, where he made his debut with a single league match appearance. By the 2021 - 2022 season, he had notched up 14 appearances, and left a trail of five goals to boot.
Briefly loaned to Empoli Primavera in Italy's lower leagues in 2019, he then returned to Jablonec and continued to showcase his prowess. His loan journey also included a stint at Vyšehrad in the Czech Lower Divisions, before wrapping up with time spent at Slezský FC Opava in the National Football League in Czech Republic.
Following his time at Slezský FC Opava, Čvančara returned once again to Jablonec, before taking on a new challenge with a move to Sparta Prague in 2022 for around £450k. His time at Sparta Prague proved fruitful, making 15 and then 24 first-team appearances over two seasons, while contributing an impressive 19 goals.
As his career advanced, Čvančara then made the significant leap to Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany’s Bundesliga for a whopping £9m fee. Even while adjusting to the new competitive environment, he made his presence known with 21 first-team appearances and four goals in his first season. The next saw him further embed himself into the team with 28 first-team appearances and two goals.
The complexities of the football world then saw Čvančara loaned out to Antalyaspor in Turkey's Süper Lig in 2025 where he continued to make his mark. However, he returned to Borussia Monchengladbach in 2026 without wasting any time.
What followed, in January 2026, was his move to Celtic on loan, the place where he is currently demonstrating his expertise. His time at Celtic, albeit brief, has already seen him make two first-team appearances and score a goal. His future, one can tell, seems to have many more milestones and achievements in store.
