Filip Bednarek (Polish pronunciation: [ˈfilip bɛdˈnarɛk]; born 26 September 1992) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Ekstraklasa club Lech Poznań.

Club career

Bednarek with FC Twente

Bednarek signed with Dutch side FC Twente at the age of 16. He made his debut for FC Twente on 6 December 2012 against Helsingborgs IF in UEFA Europa League.[1] As he never could make it to the first eleven, he left Twente as a free agent in July 2015. After being on trial with FC Utrecht, he signed a one-year contract with the club, including an option for an extra season. He returned to Poland on 5 June 2020, signing a two-year deal plus a one-year option with Ekstraklasa side Lech Poznań.[2] With Lech's then-captain Mickey van der Hart out with injury, Bednarek was Lech's first-choice goalkeeper throughout the first half of the season, including their entire Europa League campaign.
