Karviná

On 21 January 2019, he joined Czech club Karviná. [4] He described the 2019–20 as unique and unusual, as he had to enter quarantine three-times, while with Karviná, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He was a regular in the starting line-up initially but was later sidelined and placed on to the bench, contributing to him becoming free agent in July 2020. [5]

Spartak Trnava

On 27 July 2020, Bukata had signed with Spartak Trnava in his native Slovakia, joining the club's goalkeeper Dobrivoj Rusov, who is the godfather of Bukata's son. He also joined Erik Pačinda, a former teammate from VSS Košice, who had signed just days earlier. The club had disclosed that they had worked on Bukata's arrival for about a year and Bukata, in turn, expressed his gratitude and commitment to the club. [6]

International career

He debuted for the U-21 side on 21 March 2013 in a 0–1 away loss against Austria.

Bukata was first called up to the senior national team for two unofficial friendly fixtures held in Abu Dhabi, UAE, in January 2017, against Uganda and Sweden by his former coach from MFK Košice - Ján Kozák. He capped his debut against Uganda, being fielded from the start until the 70th minute, when he was substituted by Tomáš Huk. Slovakia went on to lose the game 1–3. Bukata also played the second half of the historic 0–6 loss to Sweden. [7] [8] It took about 5 years for his further recognitions in national team nominations, when Francesco Calzona listed him as an alternate fixtures in September and November, as well as prospective national team players' training camp in December.
