The Polish forward has spent the last five years playing in the EuroLeague, suiting up for Zenit St. Petersburg (2019-22), Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (2022-23) and then Partizan (2023-24). He also appeared in the competition for Arka Gdynia (2012-13) and Zastal Zielona Gora (2015-16).

Next season will be his fifth campaign in the EuroCup, as he previously represented Ostend (2013-15), Zastal Zielona Gora (2015-16) and Lokomotiv (2018-19).
