Early career
Sak started his career with LSP Legion Lublin. At the age of 15 he moved to the best-known football academy in Poland, MSP Szamotuły, where, for two-and-a-half years, his talent was nurtured by Andrzej Dawidziuk, the current head goalkeeping coach for the Poland national team.

At the start of the 2008–09 season, Sak was named as the club's third choice goalkeeper for the forthcoming season behind Tom Heaton and Peter Enckelman.

On 16 February 2009, Sak was named as a substitute in the fourth round of the FA Cup replay against Arsenal.[3]
On 1 September 2009, Sak had his contract terminated. He subsequently joined Wrexham on non-contract terms.[4]
