Konrad Hubert Michalak (born 19 September 1997) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Saudi club Ohod.

Club career

Michalak started his career with Czarni Żagań, but joined UKP Zielona Góra in 2009 with a teammate from Czarni. He spent high school at a boarding school, where he and his roommate were two of the only Legia supporters, and would commute to training with UKP.[2]

In 2013, Michalak joined boyhood club Legia Warsaw, and spent three years with the reserves, before making his debut in December 2016, coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute for Nemanja Nikolić.[3][4]

On 10 February 2017, Michalak officially joined Zagłębie Sosnowiec on a 6-month loan deal.[5][6]

On 5 August 2017, he was loaned to Wisła Płock.[7]

On 3 June 2019, he signed a four-year contract with the Russian Premier League club FC Akhmat Grozny.[8] On 31 January 2020, Akhmat announced he joined Turkish team Ankaragücü on loan until the end of the season.[9] On 24 August 2020, he moved on loan to another Turkish club Çaykur Rizespor.[10] On 17 August 2021, he was loaned to Konyaspor for the 2021–22 season.[11]

On 12 September 2023, Michalak moved to Saudi First Division League side Ohod for a reported fee of €1 million.[12]

International career

Michalak was first called up to the Poland under 20 side in September 2016, and scored on his debut against Switzerland.[13] He was called up again in March 2017 for a friendly game against Italy.[14] Because of his call up, which coincided with call-ups for teammates Sebastian Milewski and Robert Bartczak, his club side, Sosnowiec's game against Górnik Zabrze had to be postponed as Sosnowiec would not have had enough fit senior players.[15]

He was called up to the senior Poland squad for a friendly match with Scotland on 24 March 2022 and the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification playoff against Sweden on 29 March 2022.[16]
