Szymon Czyż

Szymon Czyż (born 8 July 2001) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ekstraklasa club Widzew Łódź.

Professional career A youth product of Arka Gdynia and Lech Poznań, Czyż signed with Lazio in 2018. Czyż made his professional debut with Lazio in a 1–1 UEFA Champions League draw against Club Brugge on 28 October 2020. He moved on a permanent transfer to Warta Poznań in the summer of 2021.

On 10 January 2022, he was transferred to Raków Częstochowa, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal. On 11 September 2022, shortly after obtaining a regular spot in Raków's starting line-up, he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear in a 4–0 league win against Legia Warsaw, ruling him out for at least six months.

On 26 August 2023, he joined Górnik Zabrze on a one-year loan. After re-establishing himself as a regular for Górnik in April 2024, who were at the time the team with the most league points earned since the start of the year, Czyż suffered another ACL tear, this time in the first half of a 5–0 away loss to Cracovia on 3 May.

On 24 February 2025, Czyż moved to another Ekstraklasa side Widzew Łódź on an eighteen-month contract with an option for another season. In late January 2026, he tore his ACL for the third time. On 29 January, despite his injury, Widzew exercised their option to extend Czyż's contract until June 2027.
