Career

Sypek started playing football for the youth sides of Sparta Paczków and Orzeł Ząbkowice Śląskie, before joining the Zagłębie Lubin academy in 2015. He performed well in the Zagłębie II team earning him a chance to train with the first team in 2020. Sypek made his first team debut against Wisła Płock in the Ekstraklasa.[1] Sypek continued to feature for the second team, and made a few sparse appearances for the first team, going on a season long loan to Górnik Polkowice in 2021,[2] however he returned to Zagłębie in January 2022 after 6 months at Górnik and having made 12 appearances for the club in all competitions.[3]

In 2022 Sypek made a permanent move to Widzew Łódź[4] making 15 league appearances for Widzew in the Ekstraklasa. While Sypek featured regularly for Widzew, he only started twice in the league during the 2022–23 season. It was therefor decided to send him on loan for the following season to increase his playing time. During the July 2023 he made the loan move to recently relegated Lechia Gdańsk in the I liga.[5]

Personal life

His brother Michał is also a footballer. Both played in the academies of Sparta Paczków and Orzeł Ząbkowice Śląskie.
