Club career

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

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]
