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.

He drove the ball from his own half, dribbled past multiple opponents and beat the goalkeeper to score in stoppage time.

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.

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.

Loan to Chojniczanka On 3 January 2022, he was sent on loan to I liga club Chojniczanka Chojnice until the end of the season. 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.

Lower divisions On 3 January 2025, Szelągowski moved to III liga club Unia Swarzędz. On 1 July 2025, Szelągowski signed with III liga newcomers Sparta Kazimierza Wielka.
