Club career
editKinský was raised in Tempo Prague. In 2017, he moved to Bohemians 1905. In 2018, at the age of 15, he moved to Dukla Prague.[1] He debuted for Dukla Prague at senior level in 2020, in a Czech National Football League match against FK Třinec.

Between 2022 and 2024, Kinský was on loan in MFK Vyškov and FK Pardubice.[3] He made his Czech First League debut on 22 July 2023, at the age of 20, in the Pardubice's 0–1 home loss against Bohemians 1905.[4] After the 2023–24 season, he originally decided not to extend his contract in Slavia.[5] After Jindřich Staněk, who was Slavia's number one goalkeeper, was seriously injured before the 2024–25 season, the club offered Kinský the position of number one goalkeeper.[6] Based on that, Kinský changed his decision and extended his contract in Slavia Prague.[7]
