He then moved to FC Alfa Slušovice in the 2nd division . There he made only one game and went to FK Baník Havířov, his former youth club. Zítka also scored one goal in ten appearances. He moved to FC Zlín , where he was able to establish himself as number one. In the current 1997/98 season he moved to the Slovak first division club 1. FC Tatran Prešov where he was also a regular goalkeeper.

In November 1999 he signed the Belgian club KSC Lokeren , who already had experience with Czech players. Zítka was also first choice in Lokeren and convinced the top Belgian club RSC Anderlecht with his good performances , with whom he signed a contract until 2006 in the summer of 2002.

In the first two years in Brussels Zítka played more often, lost his place but after a mistake in September 2004 at the Champions League match against FC Valencia . In the 2005/06 season he came to only seven missions, also due to injuries. His contract was extended to 2008. In the 2006/07 season he showed excellent performances and was voted Belgian Goalkeeper of the Year.

Zítka broke his leg during the 2008/09 season and was out of action for a very long time due to this injury. After his recovery in the 2009/10 season, the Czech was only a substitute behind Silvio Proto and Davy Schollen . In June 2010 Zítka terminated a contract with Anderlecht that was valid until June 2011 and returned to his homeland, where he joined Sparta Prague . He rarely got a chance there and ended his active career in 2012.
