Martin Vantruba

Martin Vantruba is a Slovak goalkeeper born in Trnava on 7 February 1998. He developed in Spartak Trnava’s academy and broke into the senior side during the 2017–18 season, making 25 league appearances and keeping 11 clean sheets as the club won its first Slovak league title in 45 years. In January 2018, Vantruba moved to Slavia Praha, beginning a period in which he gained experience through loan spells rather than regular first-team football in Prague.

Vantruba returned to Spartak Trnava in July 2022 and has since served as a goalkeeper for his hometown club. He featured in the 2022–23 Slovak Cup final, helping Trnava defeat Slovan Bratislava and claim the trophy.
