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.[1] Czyż made his professional debut with Lazio in a 1–1 UEFA Champions League draw against Club Brugge on 28 October 2020.[2][3] He moved on a permanent transfer to Warta Poznań in the summer of 2021.[4]

On 10 January 2022, he was transferred to Raków Częstochowa, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal.[5] 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.[6]

On 26 August 2023, he joined Górnik Zabrze on a one-year loan.[7] 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,[8] Czyż suffered another ACL tear, this time in the first half of a 5–0 away loss to Cracovia on 3 May.[9]

On 24 February 2025, Czyż moved to another Ekstraklasa side Widzew Łódź on an eighteen-month contract with an option for another season.[10] 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.[11]
