Career

Gostomski was born in Kartuzy. At Legia Warsaw he was the third-choice goalkeeper behind Ján Mucha and Wojciech Skaba^[1] and played primarily for Młoda Ekstraklasa. He fell out of favour after a series of photos were leaked to the media of him smoking and throwing a pineapple at an apartment window.^[2]

He had a series of short spells at various clubs, including Bałtyk Gdynia which he joined on a one-year contract in February 2011.^[3] He became a part-time player, working also as a fisherman.^[4] His fortunes changed after joining II liga side Bytovia Bytów in mid-2011.^[5]

On 28 June 2013, Gostomski moved to Ekstraklasa club Lech Poznań on a free transfer.^[5] Brought in as a third-choice goalkeeper behind Krzysztof Kotorowski and Jasmin Burić, Gostomski became a regular starter mid-way through the season,^[6] and kept his position in the starting line-up for the majority of the 2013–14 and 2014–15 campaigns.^[7] On 24 May 2015, Gostomski replaced the injured Burić in the 82nd minute of an away game against Lechia Gdańsk. After a crucial save from Antonio Čolak in stoppage time, Gostomski secured a 2–1 win which moved Lech to the top of the table with three games to go; Lech went on to win the title.^[8][9] He left the club on 31 December 2015 upon the expiration of his contract.^[10]

On 3 January 2016, Gostomski signed a six-month contract with Scottish side Rangers.^[11] He became Mark Warburton's second signing of the 2016 January transfer window.^[12] In March 2016, he was released from his contract at Rangers just over two months after joining the club.^[13]

Gostomski signed for Korona Kielce on 9 June 2016.^[14]

On 11 August 2020, he signed a one-year deal with Górnik Łęczna.^[15]

After spending four years with the Lublin side, three of them as the team's captain,^[16] Gostomski announced on 13 June 2024 that he would leave Górnik at the end of his contract in June. Later that day, Wisła Płock announced the signing of Gostomski on a two-year deal.^[17]
