Maksymilian Stryjek (born 18 July 1996) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL League One side Wycombe Wanderers. He was a Poland youth international.

Club career

Born in Warsaw,[1] Stryjek began playing football for his school at the age of 6.[2] He signed for Polonia Warsaw at the age of 11. He moved to English club Sunderland in 2013, following a trial with the club.[2]

He spent a loan spell with Boston United in 2015, making 10 league and 2 cup appearances for them.[3] In February 2016 he signed a new contract with Sunderland, lasting until 2019,[4] and in July 2017 he made his senior debut for the club, in a friendly game.[5] He moved on loan to Accrington Stanley on transfer deadline day, 31 August 2017.[2][6] He was injured 9 minutes into his professional debut, on 2 September 2017.[7]

On 21 September, Stryjek joined National League side Eastleigh on a one-month loan to replace the recently-retired Graham Stack.[8] On 11 June 2019, Sunderland announced that Stryjek was to leave the club when his contract expired at the end of that month.[9][10]

On 1 July 2019, Stryjek returned to Eastleigh, this time on a one-year deal.[11] He returned home to Poland as the season was terminated and he was released due to the COVID-19 outbreak.[12] After a successful trial[12] he signed for Scottish club Livingston in 20 July 2020 on a three-year deal.[13]

On 18 August 2022, he signed for EFL League One side Wycombe Wanderers.[14][15]

International career

Stryjek has represented Poland at under-17, under-18, and under-19 youth international levels.[2] In March 2017 he was called up by the under-21 team for the first time,[16] and went to the U21 Euro's in June.[12][17]
