Michal Habai (born 30 July 1985) is a Slovak professional footballer who plays as a defender (or defensive midfielder). He is currently playing in Austria with SV Petzenkirchen.
Club career[edit]
Habai came to Scotland at the age of 27, having spent his career playing in his homeland of Slovakia, with a spell in the Czech Republic with Druhá liga side Baník Sokolov.
He signed for Greenock Morton in July 2013,[1] and made his first competitive debut for Morton in a 1–0 defeat in the Scottish Challenge Cup to Annan Athletic. He scored his first goal for Morton in a 6-2 Scottish League Cup win over East Fife.[2]
Habai turned down an offer of a trial from League One side Rangers after catching their eye playing as a trialist in Morton's pre-season friendly with Sheffield United.[3]
Morton released Habai in January 2014, he signed for Livingston the same day.[4] He was released by Livingston in May 2014.[5] At the start of the 2015–16 season, Habai joined FK Rača in the Slovak third tier.
Habai moved to Austrian lower-league side SV Petzenkirchen in the summer of 2018.[6]
Personal life[edit]
Although Habai played for Slovan Bratislava, he was a childhood fan of city rivals Artmedia Bratislava (who famously defeated Celtic in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers in 2005).[7]
