Pozniak was born in Kraków, Poland. His parents Tadeusz and Elzbieta, emigrated to Canada in 1990. He has one sister Kinga.[1] He began his professional career with the Toronto Lynx at the age of 18. He has since played for FK Haugesund of the Norwegian Premier League and Örebro SK of the Allsvenskan in Sweden.

On November 22, 2006, Toronto FC manager, Mo Johnston announced the signings of Pozniak along with fellow Canadians Adam Braz and Marco Reda for the inaugural season of TFC.[2] He is expected to play left fullback or compete with Jim Brennan for time at the left midfield position.

Pozniak has been capped by Canada at the U20, U23, and senior levels. He competed in the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship in Argentina. His first senior level cap for Canada came in the 2002 CONCACAF Gold Cup against Haiti as a late game substitute. He has since earned a total of 16 caps and become an important contributing member for Canada's squad.[3]
