[edit] Club career
[edit] Bolton
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]
[edit] Luton (loan)
On 31 August 2007, he joined League One side Luton Town on loan until 1 January 2008.[2] He made his debut for Luton in the Football League Trophy match against Northampton Town on 4 September. He scored his first goal on 27 November in a 2–0 away win against Brentford in the FA Cup[3] and followed that up a week later with his first league goal in a 1–1 tie away to Oldham Athletic.[4] He scored his third and final goal for Luton in a 2-1 win over Port Vale on 29 December 2007.[5]
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.[6]
He returned to Bolton Wanderers and over the summer underwent an operation to resolve a long-standing hernia problem.[1]
[edit] Stockport County (loan)
On 9 October 2008, Fojut began a one month loan spell at Stockport County in League One,[7] where he managed just three games due to a hamstring problem.[1]
[edit] Śląsk Wrocław
On 11 February 2009, Fojut signed a three-and-a-half year contract with Śląsk Wrocław in the Polish Ekstraklasa.[8][9]
[edit] Celtic
On 17 January 2012, Fojut signed a pre-contract agreement with Scottish Premier League giants Celtic. He will join the club at the start of 2012-13 Scottish Premier League season after his contract expires.[10]
