Career
He spent his early career at Heart of Midlothian, but he could only manage a handful of appearances before being released. He is best remembered by Hearts fans for two assists in a 2–1 defeat of Edinburgh derby rivals Hibs in a match played at Easter Road on 3 November 2002.
Janczyk was released by Hearts in 2005 and he then signed for St Johnstone. He scored his first and only goal for St Johnstone in a Scottish Challenge Cup tie against Partick Thistle.[1] He again failed to hold down a regular place, and St Johnstone loaned Janczyk out to Raith Rovers and then Stranraer (where he scored once against Morton).[2] He was released by St Johnstone at the end of the 2006–07 season after two years with the club.[3] Janczyk signed for Brechin City in July 2007[4] and moved to East Fife in January 2012.[5] He then signed for Berwick Rangers in July 2012, scoring once against Queen's Park,[6] before moving to Clyde on 27 January 2014 having already featured in two matches for them as a trialist.[7]
On 5 June 2014, Janczyk signed for Penicuik Athletic after he was released by Clyde.[8] Janczyk ended the season with six goals from thirty-six appearances, and having claimed the goal of the season award, for a strike against Glenrothes.
Janczyk signed with Tranent in 2017,[9] however, moved to Bonnyrigg Rose, only a few months later, where he held a dual role as a player and assistant manager.[10] Janczyk signed with Dalkeith Thistle in 2018[11] and Whitehill Welfare in 2019.[12]
Janczyk was announced as Whitehill Welfare manager in April 2020.[13][14] He resigned on 8 November 2020.[15]
