Ben Lederman (Template:Lang-he; born 8 May 2000) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ekstraklasa club Raków Częstochowa. Born in the United States, he was a youth international for Poland.

Early life

Lederman was born in Los Angeles, California to Israeli expatriates of Polish-Jewish descent, Danny and Tammy.[1] His father was a small business owner and his mother, a real estate agent.[1] In 2011, the entire family moved to Barcelona so Ben could join La Masia, FC Barcelona's youth academy.

Club career

At age 11, Lederman was identified by scouts from FC Barcelona in a friendly match between his California State U10 team and FC Barcelona Academy Benjamin A.[1] He was subsequently invited to train at La Masia and joined the academy thereafter.

In January 2020, Lederman left Belgium and joined Beitar Jerusalem on trial.[2] He did not earn a contract with the Premier League side and instead signed with Liga Alef's Hakoah Amidar Ramat Gan.[3] On 14 February 2020, Lederman made his first and only appearance for Hakoah Amidar Ramat Gan in a Liga Alef South match against Maccabi Sha'arayim. Lederman started and went 65 minutes before being replaced by Michael Ben Baruch in a 1–0 loss.[4] Lederman was released by the club on 27 February 2020 so he could join Raków Częstochowa in the Polish Ekstraklasa.

Lederman made his first team debut on 20 June 2020, coming on as a substitute for David Tijanič in the 84th minute against Wisła Kraków. On 2 May 2021, Lederman won the first trophy of his professional career as Raków Częstochowa defeated Arka Gdynia in the final of the Polish Cup.[5][6]
