Procházka began his career with his hometown club Spartak Trnava. On 13 May 2007, he made his debut for Spartak first team against Eldus Močenok at the age of 18.[1]

Spartak Trnava (loan)

On 19 June 2013, Procházka was loaned to his previous club Spartak Trnava on a season-long deal.[4]

Return to Levski

In June 2014, Procházka returned to Levski. After a successful pre-season with the Blues, he was included in Pepe Murcia's squad for the campaign.[5] On 2 August 2014, Procházka scored his debut goal for Levski in a 1–0 win against Lokomotiv Sofia at Georgi Asparuhov Stadium. During the season he became an integral part of the team.

On 18 June 2015, Procházka signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him at Levski until 2016.[6] In July, he was announced as the vice captain. He was given the captain's armband in Levski's first game of the 2015–16 season against Botev Plovdiv. Procházka signed a two-and-a-half-year extension to his current contract with Levski on 30 November 2015, keeping him in the club until 31 December 2018. By 2017 he became one of the key players for Levski, by scoring numerous goals and assists for the team, making him one of the most loved players by the fans for the second decade of the 21st century.[7] On 1 October 2017, Procházka played in the 1:0 home win over Cherno More, becoming the foreign player with the most top division appearances for Levski Sofia.[8]

In the spring he also played in both Europa League Round of 32 matches against Dinamo Zagreb.

In late January 2020, Plzeň's new coach Adrián Guľa told Procházka that he is going to give space to the other players. He also said that Procházka will only be his fourth of fifth midfield choice and he got permission to find himself a new club.[10]
