Club career
Krysiak was born on 11 August 1989 in Łódź, and trained at the academy of UKS SMS Łódź. In August 2006 he joined Birmingham City on a three-year contract. After only two hours on trial at Birmingham, goalkeeping coach Nigel Spink knew that "he was the real deal".[3] Academy director Terry Westley described him as "a strong character [who] really stands out as a massive presence in goal" and believes that Krysiak can reach the top as "he has that Premiership mentality and quality".[4]
He spent the second half of the 2007–08 season on loan at Scottish Premier League club Gretna.[5] He made his debut on 16 February 2008 after Greg Fleming was suspended.[6] Due to the good form of Fleming, Krysiak started in only three matches; on his third appearance he was named in Setanta Sports' SPL Team of the Week.[7] He made one further appearance, impressing after coming on as a substitute against Hearts on 13 May 2008.[8]
At the start of the 2008–09 season Krysiak joined York City of the Conference National on loan for a month, as cover for injured goalkeeper Michael Ingham.[9] He made his debut in a 1–0 victory against Crawley Town and was substituted during his second appearance against Wrexham after suffering a dislocated finger, which resulted in him returning to Birmingham.[10][11][12]
After Birmingham's second-choice goalkeeper Colin Doyle underwent a knee operation, Krysiak replaced him on the substitutes' bench for the Championship match against Doncaster Rovers in September 2008.[13][14] He joined fellow Championship team Swansea City on a three-month emergency loan on 23 September,[15] and on the same day featured on the bench in a 1–0 victory over rivals Cardiff City in the League Cup.[16] He made his debut for Swansea in a 3–0 win over Southampton in the Championship, in which he played the full 90 minutes.[17] Krysiak was named in the Championship team of the week after making his debut for Swansea.[18] He returned to Birmingham following the conclusion of this loan spell.[19]
On 2 January 2009 Krysiak joined Scottish Premier League club Motherwell on loan for the remainder of the 2008–09 season.[20] He made one appearance at Motherwell, which came on the final day of the season, in a 2–1 defeat to Kilmarnock.[21]
In May 2009, Birmingham confirmed that Krysiak would be released when his contract expired at the end of the season.[22] However, a few weeks later he signed a one-year contract with an option for a further year with the club.[23]
On 10 August 2009 Krysiak joined League Two side Burton Albion, newly promoted, on loan for a month.[24] He made his debut in a 5–2 victory over Morecambe on 15 August.[25] After he produced "a string of impressive performances", the loan was first extended until 2 January 2010,[26] and then for the rest of the season.[27] In April, he injured his ankle, with recovery time expected to be six-to-eight weeks.[28]
In April 2010, Burton offered Krysiak a permanent contract,[29] while Birmingham announced that he would be released when his contract expired at the end of June 2010.[30]
Krysiak agreed to sign for League One side Exeter City when his Birmingham contract expired on 1 July.[31][32] Krysiak made his Exeter City league debut against Brighton in November 2010.
International career
He was named in the Poland under-19 team for the elite qualification round for the 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship.[33]
