Jarosław Fojut (born October 17, 1987 in Legionowo) is a Polish defender who plays football for Śląsk Wrocław.

Fojut joined Bolton Wanderers in 2004. The defender made his first senior appearance for Bolton as a substitute (to replace Khalilou Fadiga), during the FA Cup Third Round 3–0 victory against Watford at Vicarage Road in 2006. His Premier League debut came in the 1–1 draw against Portsmouth at Fratton Park. He made a total of four appearances for the first team, as well as becoming captain of the reserve team.[1]

On August 31, 2007, he joined League One side Luton Town on loan until January 1, 2008.[2] He made his debut for Luton in the Football League Trophy match against Northampton Town on September 4. He scored his first goal on November 27 in a 2–0 away win against Brentford in the FA Cup and followed that up a week later with his first league goal in a 1–1 tie away to Oldham Athletic.

Fojut garnered much praise during his loan spell, Luton manager Kevin Blackwell describing the young defender's performances as "colossal", however, his stay could not be extended, with all loan players being required to return to their parent clubs when Luton was placed in administration.[3]

He returned to Bolton and over the summer underwent an operation to resolve a long-standing hernia problem.[1] On October 9, 2008, Fojut began a one month loan spell at Stockport County in League One,[4] where he managed just three games due to a hamstring problem.[1]

On February 11, 2009, he signed a three-and-a-half year contract with Śląsk Wrocław in the Polish top division.[5][6]

Fojut has represented Poland at U20 level.
