Liverpool
Sokolík joined the youth academy of Baník Ostrava when he was 6 years old in 1999. He signed for the Liverpool youth academy in 2009 after he was spotted by Eduardo Macia, Liverpool's chief scout. He made his debut for the reserve team against Everton reserves.
After a successful trial, Sokolík joined Southend United in League Two on loan on 11 March 2014 for the rest of the season. His first involvement with the club was in a match against Scunthorpe United where he was an unused substitute. He made his debut for the club in a match against Bury on 15 March 2014. He started the match instead of Mark Philips.
At the end of 2013–14 season, Sokolík was released by Liverpool.
