Tomáš Jun, (born 17 January 1983) is a Czech striker who currently plays for SC Ritzing.
He joined Sparta Prague's youth system as a nine-year-old in 1992. Progressing through the club's youth teams he made his senior debut aged just 16. Only a year later he was in the starting formation in Sparta's Champions League clash with Arsenal. He also became an important member of the national youth team. By 2001 his first team opportunities became more restricted and he was loaned out to FK Jablonec 97. After a few months at Jablonec he was recalled by Sparta and managed to score a few important goals for the team. The next season saw Jun being given more first team chances, but he was still restricted to just 19 league appearances. In the 2002/03 season the youngster featured on a more regular basis with a decent tally of 8 goals. After a change in management in the 2004/05 season he hit his best form yet becoming Sparta's and the league's top scorer with 14 goals in 30 appearances, helping Sparta regain the league title.
His great season at Sparta had raised his profile, and not only did he break into the national team but a number of foreign clubs became interested in signing the promising young striker. In the end he moved to Turkish team Trabzonspor in 2005 for €3.25 mil, signing a 5-year deal with the Süper Lig outfit. The excitement of his transfer was short lived however as he failed to make an impact, moving to Beşiktaş J.K. on loan after only a few months without having scored a single goal for Trabzonspor. His luck at Beşiktaş wasn't much better as he spent most of his time as a substitute, only finding the net once.
