Club career

Early career

Mak, a native of Bratislava, began playing football at the youth squad of the local club ŠK Slovan.[2] When he was 13, he joined Manchester City Academy.[3] There he played with his countrymen Vladimír Weiss and Filip Mentel. He progressed to Manchester City Reserves aged 17, but never got a chance at the senior squad. He is a 2007–08 FA Youth Cup winner.

1. FC Nuremberg

On 11 June 2010, he signed a three-year contract for 1. FC Nuremberg for an undisclosed fee.[4] He enjoyed time on the pitch right from the start and completed the season in Germany's top flight with 22 appearances established himself as a dependable option on the right flank of the attack.[5] He scored his first Bundesliga goal in a 1–3 defeat against 1. FC Kaiserslautern on 20 November 2010. He stayed in the club for four seasons, however their relegation to second-tier football coincided with the expiration of his contract. Legia Warsaw made an attempt to sign with him, but PAOK's offer and the opportunity to play in the UEFA Europa League brought him at Toumpa Stadium.

PAOK

On 19 July 2014, he signed a three-year contact with PAOK playing in Greek Super League.[6] He enjoyed time on the pitch right from the start, and helped PAOK to lead the championship until December 2014, but some disappointing results made the club, losing its confidence, fall in the Greek Super League table into third place. On 22 February 2015, PAOK attacking midfielder feels the victory over Veria F.C. can lift up the whole squad. PAOK returned to winning ways after beating Veria F.C. 3–1 which ended a disappointing period of bad results for the club.[7] He completed the 2014–15 Super League season with seven goals (third in his first season after Facundo Pereyra and Stefanos Athanasiadis) and five assists (second after Giannis Skondras).[8]

On 16 July 2015, in the preliminary round of the UEFA Europa League PAOK was beaten 2–1 in the first leg in Croatia against Lokomotiva Zagreb with Mak scoring the loan goal.[9] In the second leg against Lokomotiva Zagreb, Mak scored a brace, with one of them being a right footed shot from more than 35-yards out, in a convincing 6–0 win to advance.[10] On 20 August 2015, in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League playoffs against Brøndby IF, Mak had a hand in all five goals, as he netted a hat-trick, created the second goal, and teed-up Garry Rodrigues for the third.[11] On 12 September 2015, in his third appearance for the 2015–16 season he scored his first goal in a 3–0 away win against Veria.[12] On 26 September 2015, he scored at the extra time giving his club the victory against Atromitos.[13] On 1 October 2015, in a home match against Borussia Dortmund for UEFA Europa League, Mak was one of the Greek team's best performers, producing an energetic display that has become his hallmark in the Greek Super League. He was a constant threat for PAOK on the counter, making lung-bursting runs in behind Borussia Dortmund's back line and his 34th-minute goal was as emphatic a strike as they come.[14] On 5 November 2015, Róbert Mak reduces the club side's arrears in added time in a 2-1 away loss for UEFA Europa League against FC Krasnodar. [15]

On 30 October 2015, PAOK and Róbert Mak, are in advanced talks regarding the extension of their cooperation until 2019. The Slovakian striker, is in daily contact with Frank Arnesen and of both sides desire is to continue their cooperation for the coming years. The great year of Róbert Mak, along with ten goals he has scored seems that will, obviously, be taken under consideration in favor of him. It should be noted that the contract running ends in 2017.[16] On 30 November 2015, PAOK attacking midfielder ]Mak picked a knee injury in the 3–1 win over Kalloni. The Slovakian forward was replaced after the injury he picked but PAOK are hopeful that his problem will not be that serious.[17] On 6 December 2015, Mak gave the lead by scoring the first goal in a 2–1 home win against Panionios. [18] On 10 December 2015, Robert Mak scored his ninth goal in this year's UEFA Europa League to force a surprise defeat on Borussia Dortmund, who qualified in second place from Group C despite the loss. Mak ran onto an Giannis Mystakidis throughball, knocked it beyond goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller and cut home from a tight angle.[19] On 30 January 2016, he gave the lead to his club with an excellent finish after an assist from Dimitris Pelkas, in a 1–1 home draw in the 20th day of Super League against Atromitos. [20] On 4 March 2016, after the episodic semi-final derby for the Greek Cup against champions Olympiakos, that never finished due to excessive episodes, Mak received four match ban and a €250 fine after his red card. [21] On 11 April 2016, in his return to action scored sealing a 2-0 home win against Levadiakos. [22] After an amazing season with the club, PAOK, according to Real News, started negotiaitions offering to the player double wages on a new three-year deal.[23]

International career
