Club career

Germinal Beerschot

Kaminski debuted in the Belgian top league for Germinal Beerschot in May 2009. He became the starting goalkeeper in the 2010–11 season.

OH Leuven

In August 2011, Kaminski signed a one-year contract with Oud-Heverlee Leuven.[1]

Anderlecht

He also signed an agreement which tied him to Anderlecht at the end of that season.[2] He played his first match for Anderlecht on 25 August 2012 against Oud-Heverlee Leuven. In summer 2015, Kaminski was loaned by F.C. Copenhagen.[3]

Blackburn Rovers

On 26 August 2020, Kaminski joined EFL Championship side Blackburn Rovers for an undisclosed fee. Kaminski signed a two-year deal with the club, with the option of a further year.[4]

After his move to England, Kaminski was required to go into quarantine as part of the UK's COVID-19 measures at the time. He went on to make his Championship debut for Blackburn on 12 September, in the club's 3–2 defeat by Bournemouth. By the end of Blackburn's 2020–21 season, Kaminski appeared for the club competitively on 44 occasions, with Kaminski's impressive performances during the season seeing him become a fan-favourite of the Rovers supporters and being named as Player of the Season.[5][6] In February 2022, he signed a contract extension until the end of the 2024–25 season.[7]

Luton Town

In August 2023, Kaminski signed for newly-promoted Luton Town ahead of their first top-flight campaign since the 1991–92 season. He won the Premier League Save of the Season award after the campaign for his save against Crystal Palace on 25 November 2023.[8]

Charlton Athletic

On 1 July 2025, Kaminski signed for Charlton Athletic on a three-year contract.[9]

International career

Youth

Despite having represented Belgium's youth teams at its U15, U16, U17, U19 and U21 levels, Kaminski is also eligible to play for Poland due to his father being of Polish descent.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Senior

Failed national team nominations

In May 2013, Kaminski received his first call-up the Belgian senior squad for a friendly match against the United States, but remained on the bench.[10] Exactly one year later, prior to the start of Belgium's 2014 FIFA World Cup campaign, he was called up to the national team's senior side again after Thibaut Courtois was rested following his appearance in the 2014 UEFA Champions League Final and injuries to Koen Casteels, Silvio Proto and Simon Mignolet left the side with no other available options.[11] Kaminski made the bench for Belgium's 5–1 friendly victory against Luxembourg in a friendly match on 26 May 2014,[12] but the record of the match was dismissed by FIFA due to the side making seven substitutes instead of the maximum six substitutes permitted.[13]

On 9 November 2020, Kaminski was called up due to the injury of Anderlecht goalkeeper Hendrik Van Crombrugge,[14] but forced to withdraw two days later after being tested positive for COVID-19.[15]

On 19 March 2021, Kaminski was called up yet again by Martínez, for the nation's 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Wales, Czech Republic and Belarus.[16] He was called up for the sixth time in under one year as he was named as part of Martínez's squad for the national team's upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Estonia and the Czech Republic in August.[17]

Eventual senior team debut

On 23 March 2024, Kaminski eventually debuted for the Belgian senior squad in a friendly match against the Republic of Ireland, as a late substitute for Matz Sels.[18]

Personal life

Kaminski was born in Belgium to a Polish father and a Belgian mother.[19]
