Michal Sipľak (born 2 February 1996) is a Slovak professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Polish club Puszcza Niepołomice.

Club career

Slovan Bratislava

Sipľak made his Corgoň Liga debut for Slovan Bratislava on 31 May 2014, entering in as a substitute in place of Róbert Matejka against Spartak Trnava.[1]

Cracovia

On 7 July 2017, he signed a contract with Cracovia.[2]

Górnik Zabrze

On 30 June 2023, Sipľak joined Górnik Zabrze on a two-year deal.[3] After spending most of the 2023–24 season as a back-up to first-choice left-back Erik Janža, Sipľak left the club by mutual consent on 18 June 2024.[4]

Puszcza Niepołomice

Sipľak remained in the Polish top-flight after signing a two-year deal, with a one-year option, with Puszcza Niepołomice on 21 June 2024.[5]

International career

Sipľak spent some of his under-21 international career under Pavel Hapal. The same coach surprisingly nominated him to senior national team on 12 March 2019, for a double UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying against Hungary and Wales. He was nominated to replace the long-term international left-back and recently retired Tomáš Hubočan.[6]
