Aleksander Buksa (born 15 January 2003) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a forward for I liga club Stal Rzeszów.[2]

Club career

Wisła Kraków

Buksa was promoted to the Wisła Kraków senior team on 6 February 2019. He made his professional debut for the club on 22 April 2019 in a 2–3 league loss to Wisła Płock.[3] He scored his first goal for the club against Jagiellonia Białystok in the league on 23 August 2019.[4] The player, who made a name for himself with his successful performance and goals, attracted attention.[5][6]

Genoa

On 1 July 2021, Buksa moved to Italian Serie A club Genoa, as his contract with the Polish side had expired.[7] Buksa made his debut on 29 August 2021 in the league match against Napoli as a substitute in the 46th minute.[8]

Loan to OH Leuven

On 22 August 2022, Buksa joined Belgian club OH Leuven on a season-long loan.[9] Two weeks later, Buksa was an unused substitute in a 2–2 away draw at Anderlecht which would be his only selection for OH Leuven. He would only go on to appear 16 times and score 5 goals for the OH Leuven U23 team, which was playing at the third level of Belgian football. On 27 January 2023, OH Leuven announced the loan deal had been terminated by mutual consent.[10]

Loan to SL 16 FC

On 29 January 2023, Standard Liège announced Buksa would be joining their second division reserve side until the end of the season.[11] Later that day, he scored the opening goal in a 2–2 home draw against S.K. Beveren.[12]

Loan to GKS Katowice

Loan to Polonia Warsaw

Hours after being recalled by Górnik, Buksa was sent on a season-loan with a buy-out option to I liga side Polonia Warsaw.[16]
