Peter Pokorný (born 8 August 2001) is a Slovak professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Polish club Śląsk Wrocław.

Club career

Pokorný started playing football with AS Trenčín, before moving to the academy of Red Bull Salzburg. In 2018 he signed with FC Liefering, the feeder team of FC Red Bull Salzburg.[2]

Pokorný made his debut for Liefering on 3 August 2018, before being replaced by Nikola Stošić in the 63rd minute.[3]
