Tomáš Necid (Czech pronunciation: [ˈtomaːʃ ˈnɛtsɪt]; born 13 August 1989) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a striker for Polish club Legia Warsaw and the Czech Republic national team. He is the older brother of Simona Necidová, who is also an international footballer.
He played his first match for the senior team of SK Slavia Prague in September 2006, when he was just 17 years old. A month later, he scored his first league goal.
In 2007–2008 season, he made his debut in the UEFA Champions League, however, he was loaned to FK Jablonec 97 for the second half of the season. Despite playing only 14 matches (of 30), he was Jablonec's top scorer of the season with five goals. When Necid came to FK Jablonec 97 they were at the 15th place (out of 16), which means relegation to a lower league. Nevertheless, the team finished the season at the 12th place, and therefore survived, with Necid being one of the heroes of the team. When his loan came to an end, he stated he wanted to return to Slavia and did not want to play for Jablonec again.
At the end of the season, in his first match for Slavia after his return from Jablonec, he scored a goal against Liberec. Slavia Prague won the Gambrinus liga 2007-08. In 2008, he won the Talent of the Year award at the Czech Footballer of the Year awards.
In August 2008 CSKA Moscow, who were interested in Necid since 2006, signed a deal with Slavia Prague according to which Necid would stay at Slavia until the end of the year and would join CSKA in January 2009. He played his first competitive match for CSKA Moscow on 7 March 2009 in the Russian Super Cup 2009 where he came on as a substitute on the 78th minute and scored the winning goal for his team in extra time in the 113th minute. Before joining CSKA Moscow Necid played 16 games in the 2008–09 Gambrinus liga and scored 11 goals (which was making him the season's top league scorer at the time he left).
