Career

Górnik Łęczna

Szysz started his adventure with football in Górnik Łęczna's youth teams. He made his debut in senior football on 21 June 2014 for the club's reserve team. As a 16-year-old, he played 10 minutes in a league match between Stal Poniatowa and Górnik Łęczna II. His breakthrough season turned out to be the 2015–16 campaign, when Szysz began to play an increasingly important role in the team. A year later, he was loaned to fourth-tier club Motor Lublin. There, the 18-year-old striker appeared in 24 games and scored four goals, including a double in the clash with Cosmos Nowotaniec on 10 March 2017.^[5] After returning from loan, he was promoted to the first team squad of Górnik Łęczna and quickly became an important player.
