Club Career

Early career

Twardek began playing with West Carleton SC at the age of five. He graduated from the Ottawa South United Academy before signing for English club Millwall.

Millwall

In 2013, Twardek joined the academy of English Championship side Millwall and signed his first professional contract with the club in April 2015.

After missing the start of the 2015–16 season, due to a dislocated toe sustained in July, he returned from injury on 8 October 2015, playing in the reserve match against Plymouth Argyle U21. Towards the end of the 2015–16 season, Twardek appeared three times as an unused substitute. Following this, Twardek signed a one–year contract extension with the club.

Twardek made his senior debut for Millwall on 30 August 2016, in an EFL Trophy game against West Bromwich Albion under-23s, where he set up a goal for Jimmy Abdou, in a 2–0 win. However, although he made three appearances, his first team place at Millwall became limited, leading him to get loaned out for first team football. By the time he went out on loan, he made three appearances for the side.

In the 2017–18 season, Twardek made his league debut for Millwall on 21 November 2017, coming on as a late substitute, in a 0–0 draw against Hull City. He went on to make two more appearances for the side before being loaned out to Carlisle United. He was released by Millwall at the end of the 2017–18 season.

Loan spells

On 5 January 2017, Twardek joined National League side Braintree Town on a 28-day loan. He made his Braintree Town debut two days later, where he started the whole game and set up a goal, in a 2–1 loss against Chester. His performance at Braintree
