Despite his signing of the contract with Slovan Liberec, Zlámal agreed on a contract with Czech champion Sparta Prague. The young goalkeeper had to pay a fine for his contract breaking, but in January 2006 Zlámal was finally in Prague ready to play for Sparta. Unfortunately, number one goalkeeper in Sparta was experienced Jaromír Blažek that time. Zlámal played just a couple of matches for the reserve team.
