Richard Sedláček (born 21 June 1999) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as midfielder for Teplice.
Club career
AZ
Sedláček played in the Sparta Prague youth academy until 2018, where he moved to Dutch club AZ, initially joining the reserve team Jong AZ competing in the second-tier Eerste Divisie. He made his league debut for Jong AZ on 5 October 2018, replacing Tijjani Reijnders in the 73rd minute in a 2–2 home draw against Helmond Sport.
VVV-Venlo
On 31 January 2022, Sedláček signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Eerste Divisie club VVV-Venlo, joining the club alongside Jong AZ teammate Sem Dirks. He made his debut on 4 February 2022, starting in a 5–0 away win over MVV in the Eerste Divisie. Exactly one month later, on 4 March, Sedláček was forced off due to an injury after ten minutes of play in the league game against Volendam; it was later confirmed how he would miss the remainder of the 2021–22 season, as he had torn his ankle ligament.
The following season, Sedláček was mainly a starter for VVV, making 34 total appearances in which he failed to score. On 5 January 2023, he had signed a new contract with the club, keeping him in Venlo until 2025.
On 24 November 2023, Sedláček scored his first competitive goal for VVV in a 2–1 league loss to Cambuur.
On 19 August 2024, Sedláček's contract with VVV was terminated by mutual consent.
Teplice
On 27 August 2024, Sedláček returned to his youth club Teplice.
