Jakub Wawrzyniak (Polish pronunciation: [ˈjakub vavˈʐɨɲak]; born 7 July 1983) is a Polish football pundit and former professional player. He usually played as a left–back or centre–back. Earlier in his career, he also appeared a few times as a striker and as a midfielder.

Club career

[edit]

Wawrzyniak played for Legia Warsaw from fall 2007 to the end of 2008.

On 4 June 2009 the Disciplinary Committee of the Greek Superliga suspended him for three months on doping charges. His suspension was later extended to one year.[2] Panathinaikos announced they would not take up their buy option on the player, thus leaving Wawrzyniak to return to Legia Warsaw. The substance in question is not prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency.[3] Wawrzyniak appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne. In December 2009 the court shortened his suspension to the original three months. The player intends to pursue compensation from the Greek association.

On 26 February 2014, he joined Russian Premier League club Amkar Perm.[4]

On 5 January 2015, he joined Lechia Gdańsk.[5][6]

International career

[edit]

Wawrzyniak made his debut for the Poland national team in a friendly game against UAE on 6 December 2006 in Abu Zabi. In total, he earned 49 caps throughout his international career.
