Welcome To Wealdstone, Hubert Graczyk!

Wealdstone Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of exciting young goalkeeper Hubert Graczyk!

The 22-year-old arrives at the Vale with a tremendous pedigree in youth football, as he has represented England at the under-16, under-17 and under-18 levels.

He will be looking to provide competition for Dante Baptiste, who has started every league game for the Stones thus far.

Born in Poland, Graczyk moved to England as a child. He spent a considerable amount of time in the Arsenal academy after joining the Gunners from Everton aged 14.

He made his debut in the under-18 Premier League in the 2017/18 campaign before spending the next two seasons at that level.

The goalkeeper made the step up to the Premier League 2 during the 2020/21 season, making 29 appearances in the competition for Arsenal over three seasons.

Slough Town signed the youngster on loan at the start of the 2023/24 season, giving him his first experience in senior football. He made four appearances and kept one clean sheet during his stint for the sixth-tier side.

The end of the 23/24 campaign marked the end of the shot-stopper’s six-year association with Arsenal, as he moved to Manchester United.

Although he never made an appearance for the Red Devils, Graczyk was named on the substitutes bench in both FA Cup and Premier League matches last season. He also featured four times for Man United’s under-21 side.

The deal is subject to the usual FA and League approval process.
