He had his direct share in the first of these successes, when on June 19, 1991, in the last game of the I liga season, which was also a derby match with Siarka Tarnobrzeg, he scored a goal (as Stal won 2-0),[1] thus ensuring Stal's first place competitions.[2] In the colors of Stal he played in the highest league of the 1991–92 and 1994–95 editions. In total, he played 25 games in Ekstraklasa, in which he scored two goals.

In the summer of 1995 he became a player of the III liga side Stal Sanok for the 1995–96 season.[3] After the autumn round in this team he returned to Stal Stalowa Wola.[4] He was an active footballer until the age of 40 as the Sokół Nisko's player. He was a right-footed athlete.

After completing his professional career, he worked in Huta Stalowa Wola. As a coach, he led the Sokół Nisko junior team and was a playing coach for the senior team until 2006.[5] He was also the coach of youth groups in his home Stal Stalowa Wola.[1]
