Šatka joined League Two club York City on 29 January 2016 on a one-month youth loan,[8] and made his debut on 6 February as a 58th-minute substitute for Matty Dixon in a 2–0 away defeat to Northampton Town.[9]

Dunajská Streda

Šatka returned to Slovakia to join Dunajská Streda on 10 January 2017 on a six-month loan deal.[10] Satka left Newcastle when his contract expired at the end of the 2016–17 season.[11]

Lech Poznań

Šatka agreed to sign for Ekstraklasa club Lech Poznań on 29 June 2019 on a four-year contract, only joining the club in mid July after Dunajská Streda's tie in the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League first qualifying round.[13]
