The 22-year-old Czech Republic international played on loan at Championship side Bristol City last term, logging 41 league appearances. He is now Boro's seventh signing of the summer, a club that has started the season with a 1-0 victory over Wrexham in the Carabao Cup. Speaking to the club's website, Vitek expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating that the ambition and goals set by the club are evident. The main objective, he said, is to secure a return to the Premier League. Vitek emphasized that the entire team shares this vision, and he shares it as well. His debut could come in the Championship opener against promoted Lincoln City next Saturday. The terms of the contract have not been disclosed by the club.",
