Jakub Ojrzyński (born 19 February 2003) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Liverpool.

Career

Liverpool signed Ojrzyński from Legia Warsaw in summer 2019 for £200,000; he travelled with the first team for their preseason tour of the USA that summer, before linking up with Liverpool's Under 18s and Under 23s teams.[2]

Ojrzyński was on the bench for Liverpool's 2–0 Premier League victory over Sheffield United in February 2021.[3] He signed a new contract with Liverpool in July of that year, before joining Caernarfon Town on loan for the 2021–22 season.[4] Throughout his loan spell, he continued training at Liverpool's Kirkby training complex regularly throughout the season.[4]

On 22 June 2022, he joined Radomiak Radom on loan for the duration of the 2022–23 season.[5] He was recalled on 17 January 2023 after making three first-team appearances for the Polish side.[6]

On 8 August 2023, Ojrzyński was sent on a season-long loan to Eerste Divisie side Den Bosch.[7] He made his Den Bosch debut on 9 September in a 3–1 defeat to SC Cambuur.[8]

On 1 September 2024, he joined Cypriot Second Division club Spartakos Kitiou on loan for the 2024–25 season.[9] He was recalled less than two months into his spell there due to administrative errors from both clubs which led to him not receiving international clearance.[10]

Personal life

He is the son of football manager Leszek Ojrzyński.[11]
