Daniel Szelągowski (born 2 September 2002) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a forward.[1]

Club career

Korona Kielce

Szelągowski came through the youth ranks of Korona Kielce, where he played since 2011, making his professional debut on 18 May 2019, coming on as a substitute in a 0–3 home Ekstraklasa defeat against Górnik Zabrze.[2][3]

Despite scoring twice in five league games during the 2019–20 season, Szelągowski could not prevent his team's from relegating to I liga. He subsequently moved to Raków Częstochowa in September 2020.[2][3][4]

Raków Częstochowa

Szelągowski made his debut for Raków on the 2 October 2020, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–0 home Ekstraklasa win against Wisła Płock.[5]

He scored his first goal for his new team on the 22 November 2020, coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute for Marcin Cebula, and helping his team obtain a 3–3 away draw against Lech Poznań. His goal was a spectacular one, driving the ball from his own half, dribbling past multiple opponents and beating the goalkeeper to score in stoppage time.[6][7]

Szelągowski was part of the side that won the 2020–21 Polish Cup, appearing in the final as a late substitute, providing the assist for David Tijanić's winning goal four minutes after he came in, helping his team beat Arka Gdynia 2–1.[8][9]

Loan to Warta

On 11 January 2022, as part of the deal that saw Szymon Czyż join Raków from Warta Poznań on a permanent basis, Szelągowski was loaned the opposite way until the end of the 2021–22 season.[10]

Loan to Chojniczanka

On 3 January 2022, he was sent on loan to I liga club Chojniczanka Chojnice until the end of the season.[11] On 16 March 2023, it was announced he had suffered a anterior cruciate ligament injury and would be sidelined for over a year, thus ending his season prematurely.[12]

After missing the entirety of the 2023–24 campaign, he terminated his contract with Raków by mutual consent on 8 June 2024.[13]

International career

Already capped with all Polish youth teams, Szelągowski made his debut for the under-21 team on the 26 March 2021 in a friendly game against Saudi Arabia, where he provided four assists in a 7–0 win.[14]
