Bartosz Białkowski (Polish pronunciation: [ˈbartɔʂ bʲawˈkɔfski]; born 6 July 1987 in Braniewo, Poland), is a Polish football goalkeeper, currently with Championship club Southampton.
Football career
He was born 6 July 1987 in Braniewo, Poland and made his Polish league debut on 30 October 2004 for Olimpia Elbląg.
On 9 January 2006, he signed for Southampton. His debut game was against Crystal Palace on 25 January 2006, which resulted in a 0–0 draw. He also appeared for the first time in the FA Cup, in the 1–0 win against Leicester City on 28 January 2006.
Białkowski was injured for the end of the 2005–06 season and for the early part of the 2006–07 season, having fallen awkwardly trying to collect the ball in a 5th round FA Cup tie against Newcastle on 18 February 2006. George Burley could not substitute him as the manager had used three substitutes already. Dexter Blackstock replaced Białkowski and prevented Albert Luque from scoring his first Newcastle goal.
After waiting patiently for his chance after returning to fitness, he returned to Southampton's starting line-up against Colchester United on 16 March 2007 as a result of a three-match suspension for Kelvin Davis. He retained his place after Davis became available again by turning in some strong performances.
He was criticized strongly and was replaced by Kelvin Davis at the beginning of the 2007–08 season when Saints lost 4–1 to Crystal Palace in the Coca-Cola Championship and 2–1 to Peterborough United in the Carling Cup 2008.
On 17 March 2009 he joined Ipswich on loan until the end of the season.[1][2][3] In his first appearance for Ipswich reserves, Bialkowski was red-carded for handling the ball outside the area.[4] He didn't make an appearance for the Tractor Boys and returned to Southampton at the end of the season.
On 28 September 2009 he joined Championship strugglers Barnsley on a week-long emergency loan.[5] He played in two Championship matches, then returned to Southampton in League One. On 24 November he made his first league appearance for Southampton in over two years, replacing the injured Kelvin Davis in the 61st minute of the match against Hartlepool. He started the following six matches until Davis recovered from his injury. With Bialkowski's contract set to expire in June, Southampton offered him an extension in May 2010.[6]
In June 2010, he was reported to have signed for Portuguese side S.C. Braga[7] but on 25 June he denied this, saying "I will be back at Southampton for the start of the season and I am hoping to stay with them."[8] On 5 August, Bialkowski signed a two year contract extension with Southampton, with the option to extend it another two years.[9]
