Career

edit

Sojka made his Fortuna Liga debut on 20 July 2019, in a sold-out home fixture against defending champions, Slovan Bratislava. Sojka was featured in a starting-XI. After over an hour he was replaced by summer arrival, Michal Klec. While on the pitch, Sojka witnessed two goals of Slovan, scored by Aleksandar Čavrić and Andraž Šporar, from a penalty. Later on Šporar's second goal and a sole goal of Pohronie, scored by Patrik Abrahám, had set the final score to 1:3.[1]

Sojka made another Fortuna Liga appearance on 31 August 2019, in Myjava, in a neutral-soil away fixture against iClinic Sereď. Sojka came on in the 66th minute as a replacement for Jakub Sedláček, with the score set at 2:2, following goals by Zachara and Patrik Abrahám for Pohronie and iClinic's goal by Alex Iván and own-goal by Pohronie's defender Ján Nosko. Pohronie went on to go one down after a goal by Tomáš Hučko, but Patrik Jacko had set the score to the final 3:3 in the stoppage time.[2] This was Sojka's last appearance for Pohronie.

Sojka was one of Pohronie's founding players, joining the newly formed club in 2012. During the 8 seasons with the club he collected over 150 league starts across three top divisions of Slovak league system, scoring over a dozen of goals. He was there with both promotions of the club to 2. Liga and the Fortuna Liga.
