Club career

Early career

Šatka was born in Ilava, Trenčín Region.[2] A product of Dubnica, he joined Newcastle United in 2012.[5] In 2014, he was included in the senior squad for a friendly tournament to be held in New Zealand.[6] On 3 January 2015, Šatka made his first-team debut in an FA Cup match against Leicester City, which his team lost.[7]

Šatka joined League Two club York City on 29 January 2016 on a one-month youth loan,[8] and made his debut on 6 February as a 58th-minute substitute for Matty Dixon in a 2–0 away defeat to Northampton Town.[9]

Dunajská Streda

Šatka returned to Slovakia to join Dunajská Streda on 10 January 2017 on a six-month loan deal.[10] Satka left Newcastle when his contract expired at the end of the 2016–17 season.[11]

Šatka signed a three-year contract with Dunajská Streda on 18 June 2017.[12]

Lech Poznań

Šatka agreed to sign for Ekstraklasa club Lech Poznań on 29 June 2019 on a four-year contract, only joining the club in mid July after Dunajská Streda's tie in the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League first qualifying round.[13]

International career

Šatka has been capped by Slovakia at under-17, under-18, under-19 and under-21 levels.[14]

Šatka was listed as an alternate in the senior team for the two qualifying matches against Slovenia and England on 1 September 2017.[15] In March 2018, he was called up to the senior team for the first time for two fixtures at the 2018 King's Cup.[16] Although an unused substitute for the 2–1 victory over the United Arab Emirates,[17] he debuted and played the entire final match on 25 March 2018 against Thailand in a 3–2 win.[18]
