Artur Krysiak (Polish pronunciation: [ˈartur ˈkrɨɕak]; born August 11, 1989) is a Polish footballer who plays for Burton Albion as a goalkeeper, on loan from Birmingham City. He also plays for the Polish under-19 national team.[1]

Club career

Krysiak was born on August 11, 1989 in Łódź, and trained at the academy of UKS SMS Łódź. In August 2006 he joined Birmingham City on a three-year contract. After only two hours on trial at Birmingham, goalkeeping coach Nigel Spink knew that "he was the real deal".[2] Academy director Terry Westley described him as "a strong character [who] really stands out as a massive presence in goal" and believes that Krysiak can reach the top as "he has that Premiership mentality and quality".[3]

He spent the second half of the 2007–08 season on loan at Scottish Premier League club Gretna.[4] He made his debut on February 16, 2008 after Greg Fleming was suspended.[5] Due to the good form of Fleming, Krysiak started in only three matches; on his third appearance he was named in Setanta Sports' SPL Team of the Week.[6] He made one further appearance, impressing after coming on as a substitute against Hearts on May 13, 2008.[7]

At the start of the 2008–09 season Krysiak joined York City of the Conference National on loan for a month, as cover for injured goalkeeper Michael Ingham.[8] He made his debut in a 1–0 victory against Crawley Town and was substituted during his second appearance against Wrexham after suffering a dislocated finger, which resulted in him returning to Birmingham.[9][10][11]

After Birmingham's second-choice goalkeeper Colin Doyle underwent a knee operation, Krysiak replaced him on the substitutes' bench for the Championship match against Doncaster Rovers in September 2008.[12][13] He joined fellow Championship team Swansea City on a three-month emergency loan on 23 September,[14] and on the same day featured on the bench in a 1–0 victory over rivals Cardiff City in the League Cup.[15] He made his debut for Swansea in a 3–0 win over Southampton in the Championship, in which he played the full 90 minutes.[16] Krysiak was named in the Championship team of the week after making his debut for Swansea.[17] He returned to Birmingham following the conclusion of this loan spell.[18]

On 2 January 2009 Krysiak joined Scottish Premier League club Motherwell on loan for the remainder of the 2008–09 season.[19] He made one appearance at Motherwell, which came on the final day of the season, in a 2–1 defeat to Kilmarnock.[20]

In May 2009, Birmingham confirmed that Krysiak would be released when his contract expired at the end of the season.[21] However, a few weeks later he signed a one-year contract with an option for a further year with the club.[22]

On 10 August 2009 Krysiak joined League Two side Burton Albion, newly promoted, on loan for a month.[23] He made his debut in a 5–2 victory over Morecambe on 15 August.[24]He has already become a crowd favorite at Burton Albion with repeated chants from fans like "Polski" and "Polish number one, Polish, Polish number one".".

International career

He was named in the Poland under-19 team for the elite qualification round for the 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship.[25]
