Career

Club

Early career

Jiránek started his professional career in 1997 for

Slovan Liberec in 1999. He made 32 appearances, and helped Slovan to win the Czech Cup in the 1999/2000 season.[3]

Reggina

In 2001, Jiranek moved to Italian

Reggina.[4] In his time at Reggina, Jiranek would make 100 league appearances,[3] helping Reggina gain promotion to Serie A in the 2001/02 season.[5]

Spartak Moscow

Spartak Moscow signed Jiránek in 2004 for €4.7m from Reggina.[3] Jiránek made his debut against FC Lokomotiv Moscow. Jiránek was a regular in the starting line-up for six years. Jiránek was the captain of the team in 2009–2010.[6]

Birmingham City

On 31 August 2010, he moved to English

League Cup Final at Wembley Stadium.[12] A toe injury that eventually required surgery disrupted the latter part of his season,[13] and following Birmingham's relegation from the Premier League, he rejected the option of another season with the club.[14]

Terek Grozny

In July 2011, Jiránek signed a two-year contract with

Terek Grozny.[15] In his second season with the club he scored a goal from 45 yards in the league game against Kuban Krasnodar.[16]

International

Jiránek was part of the Czech side which won the

Euro 2008, but was not named in the Czech squad due to an ankle injury.[20] His 31st (and as of February 2011, last) appearance was in March 2007, against Germany - after which, he was fined for his involvement in a birthday party with prostitutes.[21]
