He later secured a transfer to Livingston of the Scottish Premiership in July 2020 for which he made a total of 57 first-team appearances in the league during his stay till the 2022 season.
Stryjek then took a step back to English football, transferring to Wycombe Wanderers in the League One in August 2022.

With the season 2025 - 2026 underway, Stryjek has featured in five first team encounters in the league so far.
