He was part of the Pogoń youth team that finished as runners-up in the Polish junior championship at under-17 level, before progressing to the club's reserve side in the III liga. During the 2019–20 season, he also began training regularly with Pogoń's first team.[3]

He made his Ekstraklasa debut against Korona Kielce in late 2019. Wędrychowski made two league appearances during the 2019–20 season, both as a substitute, playing a total of 60 minutes.[4]

On 13 September 2021, he scored his first senior goal in Górnik's home match against Wisła Płock. Having entered the match as a substitute, he scored in the second minute of added time to complete a comeback from two goals down and give Górnik a 3–2 victory.[6] He completed the season with 18 league appearances, one goal and two assists.[7]

Wędrychowski returned to Pogoń before the 2022–23 season and became a regular member of its first-team squad. On 11 March 2023, he scored the only goal in a 1–0 away league victory over Zagłębie Lubin, finding the net in added time after coming on as a substitute.[8]

During the following seasons, he continued to appear for Pogoń in the Ekstraklasa, the Polish Cup and European qualifying competitions. On 25 April 2025, he scored Pogoń's fourth goal in a 5–4 away victory against Puszcza Niepołomice.[9]

Wędrychowski left Pogoń following the 2024–25 season. He made 65 competitive appearances for the club's first team, scoring three goals and recording four assists.[10]
