Playing career[edit]

Vitásek made his Czech Extraliga debut playing with HC Vitkovice during the 2009–10 Czech Extraliga season.[1]

In the 2018–19 season, having joined Chinese club Kunlun Red Star of the KHL on a one-year deal, Vitásek compiled a career-high 13 assists and 16 points from the blueline in 43 regular season games.

On 1 May 2019, Vitásek opted to continue in the KHL, signing on the opening day of free agency to a two-year contract with Russian outfit, Amur Khabarovsk.[2] In the following 2019–20 season, Vitásek contributed with 5 goals and 12 points in 55 regular season games, unable to help propel Amur to the post-season.

On 15 July 2020, Vitásek's remaining year of his contract was mutually terminated with Amur Khabarovsk, releasing him to free agency.[3] He was later signed to a one-year contract to continue in the KHL with Latvian based club, Dinamo Riga, on 12 August 2020.[4]

On 26 December 2020, Vitásek signed a contract with Bílí Tygři Liberec until 30 April 2023 with one-year option.[5]

On 16 October 2022, Vitásek had tested positive for cocaine and was suspended by Anti-Doping Committee of the Czech Republic [cs] for two years.[6] After 2022–23 season the club terminated contract with Vitásek.[6]
