Jaros made his Swedish Hockey League debut playing with Luleå HF during the 2014–15 SHL season.[1]
On 30 May 2017, Jaroš was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract by the Ottawa Senators.[2] He made his NHL debut on 10 October 2017 against Vancouver Canucks but spent the rest of the season with their American Hockey League team, the Belleville Senators.[3]
Despite beginning the 2018–19 season in the American Hockey League,[4] Jaroš was recalled to the NHL and he scored his first career NHL goal on 21 November 2018 in a 6–4 loss to the Minnesota Wild.[5]
On 27 January 2021, he was traded by the Senators to the San Jose Sharks.[6] He made his debut for the Sharks on 6 April 2021, in a 1–5 loss to the Anaheim Ducks.[7] His first point came four days later, assisting Dylan Gambrell for the first Sharks goal, in a 2–4 defeat to the Los Angeles Kings.[8]
On 26 July 2021, Jaroš was traded by the San Jose Sharks to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for Nick Merkley.[9] In the following 2021–22 season, Jaroš remained on the Devils roster, serving in a depth defenseman role. He appeared in 11 games for the Devils before he was placed on waivers and re-assigned to AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets, at the NHL trade deadline, on 21 March 2022. After failing to report to the AHL, Jaroš was placed on unconditional waivers in order to mutually terminate the remainder of his contract with the Devils on 24 March 2022.[10]
On 9 June 2022, Jaroš signed one-year contract with Avangard Omsk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).[11]
Jaroš is a cousin of Erik Černák, who plays for the Tampa Bay Lightning and won a Stanley Cup in 2020 and 2021.[12]
