Jan Rajnoch (born 30 September 1981) is a Czech former professional footballer who played as a centre-back or defensive midfielder.[1]
Club career[edit]
Rajnoch's career started at AC Sparta Prague's youth academy, playing with prominent Czech talents Tomáš Hübschman and Tomáš Jun. However, he never made an appearance for the senior team. After spells at Bohemians Praha and 1. FC Slovácko he joined Czech Gambrinus liga outfit FK Mladá Boleslav in September 2006. Here he quickly established himself as a key player and became an integral part of the team, playing an important role in their UEFA Cup campaign wins against Olympique de Marseille[2] and Palermo. In the 2007–08 season, he was made captain.
Switch to Germany[edit]
On 7 January 2009, Rajnoch made a loan move to German side FC Energie Cottbus[3] where he played out the rest of the season making 10 appearances in the Bundesliga. However Cottbus could not avoid relegation and Rajnoch returned to Boleslav.
Turkey[edit]
Rajnoch moved to Turkish Süper Lig outfit MKE Ankaragücü in 2010 on a three and a half year contract. He scored an own goal against Galatasaray on 2 October 2011 which became Galatasaray's 3000th goal in league history.[4]
International career[edit]
Rajnoch played for the Czech Republic national team. He made his international debut on 20 August 2008 in a friendly against England at Wembley Stadium where he came on as a substitute for Radoslav Kováč in the 76th minute. The game ended in a 2–2 draw.[5]
