Bartosz Białek (born 11 November 2001) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ekstraklasa club Wieczysta Kraków.

Career

On 19 August 2020, Białek joined VfL Wolfsburg on a four-year contract.[4][5] On 27 November 2020, he scored the final goal in a 5–3 home victory against Werder Bremen.[6] In late February 2021, he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during training, keeping him out of play until the following January.[7]

On 28 August 2022, Białek joined Eredivisie side Vitesse on loan.[8]

On 12 July 2023, Białek was sent on another loan, this time joining Belgian Pro League side Eupen until the end of the season.[9] Only three days later, during a pre-season friendly against Reims, he suffered another knee injury which sidelined him for the next nine months.[10] He returned to football on 7 April 2024, making his debut in the starting line-up for a 1–1 relegation play-off draw against Kortrijk.[11]

In mid-July 2024, after returning to Wolfsburg, Białek injured his knee again during pre-season training, and was ruled out of play for several months.[12] On 30 April 2025, it was announced he would leave Wolfsburg at the end of his contract in June.[13]

On 15 July 2025, Białek signed with Darmstadt 98 in 2. Bundesliga.[14] He scored once in 17 appearances before being released at the end of the 2025–26 season.[15]

On 11 August 2026, Białek returned to Poland and joined Ekstraklasa newcomers Wieczysta Kraków on a one-year deal, with a one-year extension option.[16]
