Sparta Prague
A winger, Majka entered the Sparta Prague academy at age 14 and progressed sufficiently to be awarded the Vlastislav Mareček Award at the 2016 FAČR Grassroots Gala. He was an unused substitute for the first team on two occasions during the 2016–17 season and appeared for the U19 team in Sparta's 2016–17 and 2017–18 UEFA Youth League campaigns.

During his two seasons with the club, Majka made 62 B team appearances, scored five goals and was part of the squad which won the 2018–19 Middlesex Senior Cup. He was released in June 2020, when the club opted not to take up the option on his contract.

Return to the Czech Republic
In August 2020, Majka signed a two-year contract with newly promoted Czech National League club FC MAS Táborsko on a free transfer.
