Liverpool confirm loan deal while Academy goalkeeper heads to Poland

Liverpool have confirmed their second loan deal in two days as 19-year-old Academy goalkeeper Jakub Ojrzynski has returned to his native Poland.

On Tuesday, the club announced that right-back Conor Bradley would spend the campaign with Bolton.

It was the first of many temporary deals Liverpool are expected to sanction this summer, and hours later they have followed it up with another confirmation.

Ojrzynski has joined Polish side Radomiak Radom on a full-season contract as he has been linked with the club for pre-season training earlier this month.

Radomiak finished seventh in the 18-team Extrasclass last season, and is led by former Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Mariusz Lewandowski, with a squad made up largely of Polish, Brazilian and Portuguese players.

It remains to be seen whether Ojrzynski, who spent the previous season on loan with Caernarfon Town in the Cymru Premier, will take on the top spot.

But he can now look forward to a campaign that kicks off against his own father, coach Leszek Ojrzynski, with Radomiak against Korona Kielce on a friendly Wednesday.

If Ojrzynski is able to establish himself as number 1 on Radom, it could be a vital experience for a highly regarded player within the Liverpool academy.

The chances of a breakthrough at Anfield, however, seem slim, with Alisson currently backed by Caoimhin Kelleher and veteran Adrian, while 19-year-old Brazilian Marcelo Pitaluga is next.

Harvey Davies and Fabian Mrozek, both 18, are also looking to challenge each other in the future, while Vitezslav Jaros, 20, and Liam Hughes, 20, are still in the books.

Good luck, Jakub!
