Michael Klukowski

Klukowski was born in Amstetten, Austria. He began his career in Canada playing for the Oshawa Kicks and Scarborough Azzurri-Blues, before travelling across the Atlantic to join Dijon FCO in 1999. A move to Tourcoing FC followed the next year before his performances caught the attention of Ligue 1 outfit Lille OSC, whom he joined in 2001. He only played for their reserve team, however, so his time at the Stade Grimonprez-Jooris was equally brief. He finally found his feet at La Louvière, making 72 league appearances over the next two-and-a-half seasons. While at La Louvière, he helped them win the 2002–03 Belgian Cup.

Club Brugge

At La Louvière, Klukowski attracted interest from Club Brugge, who signed him in a deal thought to be worth €900,000 during the winter break in January 2005. He initially had to bide his time at the Jan Breydel Stadium, but did make six appearances towards the end of the campaign as Club Brugge sealed the title. Klukowski was the number one left back for five seasons with Brugge. He replaced Peter Van Der Heyden, who suffered a knee injury, during the last season with Trond Sollied. Klukowski left Brugge with 178 official games, including 26 European appearances and two Belgian Supercup Final appearances.

Ankaragücü

In mid-August 2010, Klukowski moved to Süper Lig club Ankaragücü for an estimated value of €750,000 while signing a three-year deal. He made his debut for the club in a 1–1 home draw against Kayserispor on 27 August…

After representing Canada at the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship in Argentina, Klukowski made the step up to the senior side in March 2003. He made his debut for Canada in a February 2003 friendly match against Libya. He has represented Canada in ten FIFA World Cup qualification matches. As of 13 June 2012, he has earned a total of 36 caps, scoring no goals. He managed to make the All-Tournament team of the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup along with fellow Canadian Julian de Guzman.

Born to Polish parents who had stopped in Austria while on their way to Canada, Klukowski is of Polish descent and holds Polish citizenship. Klukowski's son, Antoni, is also a soccer player who plays in Poland for Widzew Łódź.
