Club career
Sigma Olomouc
Born in Ústí nad Labem, Černý started his career at Sigma Olomouc in 2002, was outstanding player in the youth set-up, but he made only one senior appearance for the club, playing in a 0–0 draw against Příbram on 12 March 2005.[1]

He signed on loan for Scottish First Division side Hamilton Academical in August 2007.[2] Černý helped Hamilton achieve promotion to the Scottish Premier League in 2008. Černý won the SPL Player of the Month Award in January 2009.[3] In March 2009, Černý announced his desire to stay with the Accies after his loan spell ended.[4] On 24 April 2009, Černý signed a two-year permanent contract with Hamilton and completed a transfer from Sigma Olomouc for a fee of 200.000 Euro after attracting interest from Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers.[5] Tomas played 155 official games for the club.

However, in late 2013, Černý lost his place in the starting line-up due to refusing to extend his contract with the club over lack of payment.[11][12]

In July 2017, he extended his contract with Thistle to the summer of 2019.[19] After Thistle were relegated from the Premiership in May 2018, Černy exercised a clause in his contract that allowed him to become a free agent.[20]
Aberdeen
