Club career

Karhan began his career with local club Spartak Trnava. In 1999, he signed a four-year contract with La Liga club Real Betis, becoming the third Slovak player to join a Spanish league club in the 1990s after Peter Dubovský and Samuel Slovák.[2] In 2002, he was named Slovak Footballer of the Year.[3] Karhan joined Mainz 05 of the 2. Bundesliga on a free transfer from Wolfsburg in July 2007, signing a two-year contract.[4]

Having spent four seasons with Mainz 05, Karhan returned to Spartak Trnava in June 2011[5] before serving as club captain for two more seasons.[6] In August 2013, Karhan announced his retirement from professional football and that he moved to a role of sports director of Spartak Trnava.[6]

International career

Karhan is the father of two boys: Patrick, who currently plays for Spartak Trnava and represented Slovakia at youth international level, and Alex Thomas.[8]
