description: "Ben Mark Starosta is a footballer who plays for Glapwell FC. Born in Sheffield, England, he started his career at his hometown club Sheffield United, although he never broke through into the first team. He was loaned to a number of clubs, both in England and Poland, while at United before eventually being released in 2009. After an aborted spell at Darlington he spent a period at Dandenong Thunder in Australia on non-contract terms before signing for Miedź Legnica in 2011. Starosta then spent a year at United Football League side Global in the Philippines. He has also played for the Poland national U-20 team, qualifying as he holds a Polish passport through his family."
