Ex-Blues Keeper Bialkowski Wins Championship Golden Glove - Ipswich Town News

Former Town keeper Bartosz Bialkowski carried off the Championship Golden Glove in his first season with new club Millwall.

The Polish international kept 16 Championship clean sheets as the South Londoners finished an impressive eighth.

Bialkowski, 33, joined the Lions from the Blues on loan last summer after a permanent £900,000 switch had broken down due to concerns regarding the keeper’s knee which emerged during his medical.

The deal was eventually made full-time in January for a fee understood to be lower than the one previously agreed with an initial sum payable to the Blues plus further cash over the duration of his contract and add-ons related to appearances and performance.

During his time with the Blues Bialkowski was the club’s Player of the Year for three successive seasons.
