Daniel "Dan" Twardzik (born 13 April 1991) is a German footballer of Czech and Polish descent who plays as a goalkeeper. He is currently without a club after leaving Scottish Premiership club Motherwell in January 2016.
Twardzik trained with Bayern Munich as a youngster, and after leaving the German giants in 2009, trained with Scottish club Motherwell. Compensation issues were to kill off any possibility of a move to Fir Park, so he signed on at Karlsruher SC. In 2011, he moved to Italian football with Calcio Como. Having struggled to make an impact there, Twardzik was recruited by Scottish club Aberdeen.
Twardzik did not make a single appearance for the Pittodrie club, as he was used mostly as a back-up to Jamie Langfield. He was released at the end of the 2012–13 season. The following season, Twardzik moved down a division and signed for relegated SPL club Dundee. Again, Twardzik found his first-team opportunities very hard to come by.
After making his return, Twardzik made his debut for Dundee on 25 January 2014, coming on as a substitute against Falkirk, after first choice goalkeeper Kyle Letheren had been sent off. He immediately saved a penalty but couldn't stop Dundee losing 2–0. After spending the reminder of the season being a back-up for Letheren, Twardzik futures appears to be uncertain following the club's promotion to the Scottish Premiership. The fear was later confirmed of Twardzik leaving the club.
