Radek Vítek is a Czech goalkeeper, born on 24 October 2003 (age 22), now with Middlesbrough. At a commanding 6ft 6in (1.98m), he has the frame clubs tend to like in a modern keeper, though the job still comes down to the less glamorous business of decisions, handling and staying out of trouble.
His busiest league season so far came in 2024-25 with Blau-Weiss Linz, where he made 26 league appearances. That spell gave him regular senior football, rather than the usual polite promise attached to young goalkeepers waiting for a proper run.
Vítek is currently Middlesbrough’s number one and has made eight Championship appearances in 2026-27. His market value is around £5m, according to Transfermarkt.
He was linked with a move to Celtic in July 2026. For now, his career is that of a developing Czech goalkeeper with senior experience in Austria and England, and a current place in Middlesbrough’s first team picture.
