Although he primarily featured for the Under-19 squad, Kubala also received several call-ups to the Italian club's first team: however, he never made his senior debut for Udinese.[1]

After playing one more season for Udinese's Under-19s as an over-age player,[4] on 16 June 2022 Kubala officially returned to Baník Ostrava, where he signed a one-year contract with an option for another year.[1][3]
In November 2022, after he spent the autumn on loan in MFK Vyškov, Kubala decided to end his professional career and go to study.[5]
