Piątek was highly regarded as a goalkeeper, before having his career cut short after being diagnosed with hepatitis C in mid-2005.
In July 2004 Piątek was called up to the Polish national football team for a friendly game in Chicago against the United States. However, he spent the entirety of the 1–1 draw on the bench.
In 2021 and 2022 he served as a caretaker manager of Ekstraklasa side Bruk-Bet Termalica Nieciecza, following the Mariusz Lewandowski's lay-off and preceding the beginning of cooperation with Michał Probierz.[2][3]
