Artur Łukasz Krysiak (Polish pronunciation: [ˈartur ˈkrɨɕak]; born 11 August 1989) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for League Two club Yeovil Town. He previously played in the Scottish Premier League for Gretna and Motherwell and in the Football League for Swansea City, Burton Albion and Exeter City. He also played for the Poland national under-19 team.
Born in Łódź, Łódź Voivodeship, Krysiak trained at the academy of UKS SMS Łódź from 2004 until 31 August 2006 when he joined English Championship club Birmingham City on a three-year contract for a fee of £60,000. After only two hours on trial at Birmingham, goalkeeping coach Nigel Spink knew that "he was the real deal".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".
He spent the second half of the 2007–08 season on loan at Scottish Premier League club Gretna. He made his debut on 16 February 2008 after Greg Fleming was suspended. 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. He made one further appearance, impressing after coming on as a substitute against Hearts on 13 May 2008.
