Career

edit

Gostomski was born in Kartuzy. At Legia Warsaw he was the third-choice goalkeeper behind Ján Mucha and Wojciech Skaba[1] and played primarily for Młoda Ekstraklasa. He fell out of favour after a series of photos were leaked to the media of him smoking and throwing a pineapple at an apartment window.[2]

He had a series of short spells at various clubs, including Bałtyk Gdynia which he joined on a one-year contract in February 2011.[3] He became a part-time player, working also as a fisherman. His fortunes changed at Bytovia Bytów, with the club rising through the leagues, before joining Lech Poznań.

On 3 January 2016, he signed a six-month contract with Scottish side Rangers.[4] Gostomski became Warburton's second signing of the 2016 January transfer window.[5] In March 2016, he was released from his contract at Rangers just over two months after joining the club.[6]

Gostomski signed for Korona Kielce on 9 June 2016.[7]

On 11 August 2020, he signed a one-year deal with Górnik Łęczna.[8]

After spending four years with the Lublin side, three of them as the team's captain,[9] Gostomski announced on 13 June 2024 that he would leave Górnik at the end of his contract in June. Later that day, Wisła Płock announced the signing of Gostomski on a two-year deal.[10]
