Ex-Leeds United keeper Kamil Miazek still on the hunt for new club with Mateusz Klich helping out

Not many members of the Leeds United first-team squad left the club permanently at the end of the 2019-20 campaign. In fact, in the case of Gaetano Berardi, he technically left and came back. 

But one player who did exit was Kamil Miazek. Whilst never making a first-team appearance for Leeds the Polish stopper was the club’s third-choice keeper for most of their promotion campaign. 

In fact, he spent 19 of Leeds’ 46 Championship fixtures last term on the bench, waiting for a chance to replace either Kiko Casilla or Ilan Meslier. 

But with first-team football not forthcoming and his contract up, Leeds allowed Kiazek to leave the club in the summer.

Considering his pedigree and likely a good reference from Leeds, Miazek would have been confident about finding a new team quickly.

Unfortunately, that has not been the case. 

Miazek remains a free agent and even one current Leeds player has been vouching for the 24-year-old online. 

Countryman and Leeds midfielder Mateusz Kuch retweeted a post from Manchester City and former Leeds scout, another Polish national, Jakub Bokiej highlighting Miazek’s credentials. 

He has come close. Miazek spent time on trial with Heerenveen last month, as reported by the Leeuwarder Courant. However, as confirmed by the club’s own Twitter account, that trial period did not lead to a contract being awarded by the Dutch top-flight side. 

Leeds United fans, especially those who followed the under-23s, will appreciate what Miazek can bring to a club and will hope that their former number three can find himself a club that can offer him first-team opportunities soon.
