Jakub Stolarczyk (born 19 December 2000) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Premier League club Leicester City.

Career

[edit]

Stolarczyk started his career with Polish seventh tier side Piast Chęciny.[1] In 2017, he joined the youth academy of Leicester City in the English Premier League.[2][3][4]

On 31 January 2022, Stolarczyk was sent on loan to Scottish second-tier club Dunfermline Athletic.[5][6] He made his professional debut for the club in a 1–1 draw against Ayr United in the Scottish Championship five days later.[7] He was praised by the manager John Hughes and fans for having a 'sensational' performance.[8][9]

On 15 August 2022, Stolarczyk signed a new contract and was sent on a season-long loan to EFL League One club Fleetwood Town.[10][11] On 23 August 2022, he made his debut for Fleetwood Town in a 1–0 loss to Premier League side Everton in the second round of the EFL Cup.[12] He had 3 appearances in the FA Cup, playing a pivotal part on leading up to the club's first-ever Fourth Round tie.[13] However, as he never appeared in any league games, he was recalled by Leicester from his loan on 13 January 2023.[14] On 23 January, he joined EFL League Two club Hartlepool United on loan until the end of the season.[15][16] On 4 February, he was chosen over fellow goalkeeper Ben Killip and made his club debut for Hartlepool in a 1–0 away win over Doncaster Rovers in the league.[17]

On 9 August 2023, Stolarczyk made his Leicester City senior debut in a 2–0 away win against Burton Albion in the first round of the EFL Cup.[18] He made his league debut in the EFL Championship three days later in a 1–0 away win against Huddersfield Town.[19] In March 2024, Stolarczyk played for Leicester in their FA Cup quarter-final away defeat to Chelsea and saved a first half penalty from Raheem Sterling.[20]

In July 2024, it was announced that he would be sidelined for up to six months due to an ankle injury.[21]
