Kedziora<\/strong> was born on June 11, 1994 in Sulech\u00f3w<\/strong>, Poland<\/strong> and was into football at the deep end from early on. Miroslav’s<\/strong> father was a coach at the Zielona<\/strong> Gora<\/strong> academies and he started taking him to training sessions and coaching him from the age of four, playing with kids up to four years older than him.<\/p>\n

In 2000 he officially joined the Zielona<\/strong> youth setup. In 2010, under his father’s guidance, he played in the final stage of a development tournament in Poland<\/strong> and attracted the interest of champions Lech Poznan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In total, he made 151 appearances for Lech<\/strong>, scoring 10 goals and providing 12 assists, won a championship and two Polish Cups<\/strong>, before it was time for the next move.<\/p>\n

Dynamo Kyiv<\/strong> was the team who made him theirs in the summer of 2017, while a few months later the first call came from the Polish<\/strong> national team, with whom he has played in 26 games to date, scoring one goal and two assists, having previously played at all age levels of the youth teams of his homeland.<\/p>\n
