Blazej Augustyn (Polish pronunciation: [ˈbwaʐɛj au̯ˈɡustɨn]; born 26 January 1988 in Strzelin) is a Polish footballer who plays for Jagiellonia Bialystok.

Club Career

Youth career

Augustyn began his youth career with SK Strzelinianka Strzelin in the late 1990s and remained with the amateur club until he transferred to Slask Wroclaw in 2003. He remained with the youth system for just one season before transferring to UKS SMS Lodz in 2004. Following an impressive spell with the club's youth team, Augustyn made a transfer to the Premier League with Bolton Wanderers.

Bolton Wanderers

Augustyn officially signed for Bolton Wanderers midway through the 2005–06 season, and signed his first professional contract on 3 August 2006. Augustyn then made his only appearance for the first team on 6 January 2007 as a substitute in an FA Cup 3rd round tie against Doncaster Rovers. He was offered a contract extension by former Bolton manager Sammy Lee, but turned it down as his first team opportunities would be limited.

Legia Warsaw

In June 2007, Augustyn returned to Poland, signing a four-year contract with Legia Warsaw.

On 29 July 2007, he made his Legia Warsaw debut, making his first start before coming off in the 88th minute just two minutes from the end of the game, in a 1–0 win against the KS Cracovia. However, in his third appearance against Korona Kielce on 21 September 2007, Augustyn made a mistake in the 2nd minute of the game, allowing Grzegorz Bonin to score the only goal in the game. After the game, Augustyn apologised and took the blame for his mistake. Between 2007 and 2008, the 19-year-old Augustyn made just 4 first team appearances, but spent time within the youth team as well. Augustyn later spoke about his time at Legia Warsaw, saying the club accused him of "hypertrophy ambitions".

Rimini Calcio

In August 2008, he joined Rimini on loan in the Italian Serie B.
