Paweł Kieszek ([ˈpavɛu̯ ˈkʲɛʂɛk]; born 16 April 1984 in Warsaw) is a Polish professional footballer who plays for Vitória F.C. in Portugal, as a goalkeeper.
Football career
Kieszek began his professional career at Polonia Warsaw, in the Polish first division. In January 2006 he was loaned to Greece's Egaleo FC, where he remained until the end of the year; he returned to Polonia (which had been relegated to the second level in his absence) for the 2006–07 season, playing only a few games before getting injured, which ruled him out the rest of the campaign.
Kieszek signed with S.C. Braga in Portugal in June 2007, on a free transfer. He made his club debut on 21 February 2008 in a 0–1 home loss against SV Werder Bremen for the season's UEFA Cup, first appearing in the league three days later against S.L. Benfica (1–1).
In January 2009 Kieszek joined Vitória Futebol Clube, on loan until the end of the season, being relatively used during his spell as the Sadinos managed to retain their top division status. Upon his return to Braga, he was a backup to Portuguese international Eduardo.
In July 2010, after another uneventful 2009–10 with Braga – the club finished second, but he only appeared in three matches in the campaign's Portuguese League Cup, conceding four goals – Kieszek signed a four-year contract with F.C. Porto[1] (with Braga retaining 50% of his economic rights[2]). In August of the following year, after only four official appearances, he was loaned to Dutch outfit Roda JC.[3]
