Tomasz Ptak (born 9 February 1992) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Zatoka Braniewo.[1] He joined the Polish Land Forces in 2016 and was assigned to duty in Latvia following the 2020–21 season.[1][2]
Zatoka Braniewo was his first youth team; he was admitted to MSP Szamotuły football academy in 2007, where he worked with goalkeeping coach Andrzej Dawidziuk, who he credits with being an early inspiration.[3][4] He played for Sparta Szamotuły during the 2009–10 season; on 28 October 2009, he played 90 minutes for Poland's U17 team against Bulgaria.[3] He briefly played for Górnik Konin in the fall of 2010.[3][5] His debut came on 1 October 2011; Jaga defeated Zagłębie Lubin.[6] He was relegated back to the Młoda Ekstraklasa team after Grzegorz Sandomierski returned from playing abroad.[6][3] In 2011, he was flown to England to train with Liverpool goalkeepers for eight days.[5]
When he returned, he signed a four-year contract with Jagiellonia Białystok.[7][8][3] In the summer of 2012, he went to Stomil on loan, where he played 17 games and remained until November.[9][10][6][11] In the short break period between leaving Stomil and returning to Jaga, Ptak played in a friendly Poland U21 match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.[12][13] In 2013, he was loaned to Motor Lublin on a six-month contract.[9][14] At the end of the summer, he left Jaga to sign a three-year contract with Zagłębie Lubin, where he was placed on the reserve team.[15][16][17] Prior to signing with Lubin, he attended training camp for Wisła Płock.[18] He stayed in Lubin until 2015 and played 8 games total.[19] At this time, he was pursued by Olimpia but ultimately returned to Zakota Braniewo to play for his home club.[20][19] Zakota played in the 2017 Polish championships.[21][22]
In 2016, Ptak joined the Polish Land Forces and in 2021, he left Zakota to deploy to Latvia as part of the NATO Enhanced Forward Presence campaign.[2][1]
