Club career

File:Tomasz Hajto.jpg

Born in Maków Podhalański, Hajto began his career playing for local club Halniak Maków Podhalański. He moved to Góral Żywiec before making his big break in 1991 with Hutnik Kraków. His prowess as a youngster was noticed by many, and in 1993–94 he was transferred to Górnik Zabrze.

Hajto was soon to create interest from other countries, most particularly Germany and England, but it was to the former that he was first transferred. He first played for MSV Duisburg for two seasons. After the team was relegated to 2. Bundesliga, Hajto was transferred to FC Schalke 04, where he played until 2004. He then signed a two-year contract with 1. FC Nürnberg.{{cite web | url = http://www.rp-online.de/public/article/sport/fussball/zweiteliga/vereine/47177/Schalker-Hajto-wechselt-nach-Nuernberg.html | title = Schalker Hajto wechselt nach Nürnberg | access-date = 19 July 2009 | publisher = RP Online | date = 11 May 2004}} As he had not met the expectations, he was transferred to Southampton in summer 2005.{{cite web | url = https://www.handelsblatt.com/journal/fussball/hajto-von-nuernberg-nach-southampton;935860 | title = Hajto von Nürnberg nach Southampton | access-date = 19 July 2009 | publisher = Handelsblatt| date = 28 July 2005}} In January 2006, his contract with Southampton was cancelled, enabling him to sign for Derby County on an eighteen-month contract, however this deal was also terminated early, after only four months at the club.

International career

Hajto participated in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, where he played two matches against South Korea and Portugal. He has scored six goals in 62 caps for Poland.

Personal life

Hajto is married to a former Polish sprinter Renata Sosin (pl), with whom he has two children: son, Mateusz, and daughter, Wiktoria.{{cite news |last=Parker |first=Sam |date=3 October 2017 |title=Tomasz Hajto - cytaty, żona, dzieci, wzrost, wiek |trans-title=Tomasz Hajto - quotes, wife, children, height, age |url=https://www.eska.pl/news/tomasz-hajto-cytaty-zona-dzieci-wzrost-wiek-aa-rJd5-3XKT-B13V.html |language=pl |work=Radio Eska |location=Warsaw |publisher=Grupa ZPR Media |access-date=27 January 2020}}

In January 2008, Hajto was found guilty of manslaughter after speeding in his car and killing a female pedestrian at a crossing in Łódź that happened in February 2007. Pleading guilty to the charges, he was given a suspended two-year jail sentence, ordered to pay a fine of 7,000 Polish złotys and given a one-year driving ban. He had earlier been fined in 2004 for dealing in smuggled cigarettes.{{cite web |title= Former Poland defender gets suspended jail term for fatally running over pedestrian|url= http://www.cbssports.com/soccer/story/10578570|publisher= cbssports.com |date=15 January 2008 |access-date=29 September 2009}}
