Nick joined the Rovers at Under-12s level and is a highly-rated stopper who has shown fine progression through the ranks.

Previously on the books at Stoke City, Michalski, whose idol growing up was former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes, is eligible to feature for both England and Poland.

On the international stage, the goalkeeper has represented England at Under-15s and Under-16s level.

A whirlwind 2024 saw Michalski progress from the Under-18s to the Under-21s and also be named on the bench for the first-team for our Ewood encounters against Millwall and Plymouth Argyle in 2023-24.

At the end of the year, Nick made his debut for the England Under-18s side when he came on at half time against Ukraine for Liam Bramley's Under-18s at the Marbella Football Centre in Spain in October.

There was another milestone for the teenager earlier on in 2024-25, with the stopper getting tastes of senior football during loan stints with Bamber Bridge and City of Liverpool FC.
