Adam Nemec (born 2 September 1985) is a Slovak footballer who plays as a forward for Dinamo București and the Slovakia national team. In his career he has mostly played for second division teams in Germany.[2]

Club career

MŠK Žilina

When playing for MSK Žilina from 2004 to 2007, the team became Slovakian champion in 2007.

Erzgebirge Aue

In August 2007, he signed a loan deal with German 2. Bundesliga (Germany's second division) side Erzgebirge Aue where he scored ten goals and provided seven assists in 29 games.[3]

KRC Genk

On 11 June 2008, Nemec signed a four-year deal with Belgian club KRC Genk. He remained at the club for only one season however, in which he scored four goals in 21 matches.

1. FC Kaiserslautern

In July 2009, he was involved in talks over a move to Scottish Premier League club Heart of Midlothian which ultimately failed.[4] On 28 July 2009 however, Nemec signed a three-year contract for 1. FC Kaiserslautern, returning to Germany's second division.

Reportedly falling from a cherry tree in his garden in June 2011, Nemec suffered injuries including broken ribs, a broken collarbone that required surgery, and a concussion which kept him out of football for about three months.[5][6][7] He returned to training in early September.[8] He left the club during the mid-season break in January 2012, after having appeared in 61 league matches and scoring nine goals in his two and a half seasons.

FC Ingolstadt

On 27 January 2012, Nemec joined FC Ingolstadt until the end of the season.[9]

Union Berlin

On 24 July 2012, he signed a two-year contract with Union Berlin in the German second division until June 2014.[10][11] In December 2013, his contract was extended for another two years until 2016 including a mutual extension clause for another year.[12] Only five months later though, in April 2014, he was allowed to leave the club effective the end of the 2013–14 season,[13] however he stayed with Union.

After playing in just five games through the first half of the season, he was released.[14][15] Union manager Norbert Düwel said: "It is a pity that cooperation has not worked as both sides had imagined. Under these circumstances, it is better to part ways."[16]

New York City FC

On 25 January 2015, after Nemec's contract with Union Berlin was dissolved by mutual agreement, he signed with Major League Soccer club New York City FC.[17] Originally a starter, he lost his starting lineup position due to his poor play.[18][19] In his nine games playing for the team, he was disappointing and didn't make an impact.[20][21] In 594 minutes he did not score a single goal and did not have a single assist.[22][23]

On 31 August 2015, New York City FC and Nemec agreed to a mutual termination of his contract. [24]

Willem II

On 31 August 2015, fifteen minutes before the closing of the transfer window, Nemec signed a one-year deal with Dutch Eredivisie side Willem II, continuing his career habit of bouncing from club to club.[25][26]

Dinamo București

On 6 September 2016, Nemec signed a two-year deal with Romanian side Dinamo București.

International career

Nemec debuted with the senior team on 9 February 2011, but he scored his first goal in a game against Malta over three years later, under Ján Kozák, who used him in seven of 10 games in a Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, towards which Nemec contributed with three goals.
