Jakub Ojrzynski has joined Caernarfon Town on a season-long loan from English Premier League giants Liverpool.

The 18-year-old, who signed a new long-term contract, expected to be five years, with the Reds yesterday, will ply his trade in the Cymru Premier for the upcoming season.

He had played in a number of the Canaries’ pre-season friendly matches and now he has officially been registered as a player.

Both Caernarfon and Liverpool say it is subject to international clearance, but that it should go through in time for their first competitive game of the season against Ruthin Town next Friday.

An injury to Josh Tibbetts, as well as the departure of Lewis Brass, who is on trial at Greenock Morton, had led to Huw Griffiths recruiting a goalkeeper for the campaign.

Ojrzynski, who joined Liverpool from Legia Warsaw for a fee expected to be around £200,000 two years ago, played 17 appearances for both their U18s and U23s side.

He has also trained with the first team and was named as a substitute in their league clash with Sheffield United in February. 

As well as his club career, Ojrzynski has represented his homeland at both Under-15, 16, and Under-17s levels. 

Caernarfon have already added three new players to their squad, including former Football league player Dion Donohue, as well as Welsh duo Danny Gosset and Rob Hughes.

The Cofi’s begin their new league campaign on August 14 when they welcome Haverfordwest County to The Oval.
