Born in Banská Bystrica, Hronec began his youth career at FK Dukla. At the age of 10 he moved from Baník Pezinok to Inter Bratislava.[2]
Hronec joined the Birmingham City Academy in 2008, when he turned 16.[3][4]
On 19 August 2011, Hronec joined Bulgarian Ludogorets Razgrad on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[5]
Two weeks later, Kaliakra Kavarna signed Jakub on a four-month loan deal. On 3 October, he made his Bulgarian A PFG debut, in their 3–0 loss against Slavia Sofia. He scored his first goal on 21 October, in a 3–2 away loss against Levski Sofia after a long-distance effort.
