Tymoteusz Puchacz (born 23 January 1999) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Azerbaijan Premier League club Sabah.[3]

Club career

Puchacz started his career with Lech Poznań.[4]

On 15 December 2017, he was loaned to I liga side Zagłębie Sosnowiec.[5]

On 31 August 2018, he was loaned to I liga side GKS Katowice.[6]

On 18 May 2021, Union Berlin signed Puchacz with a transfer fee of €3.5 million. He joined the club for the 2021–22 season.[7]

On 10 January 2022, he was loaned to Süper Lig side Trabzonspor[8] and won the league title months later.[9] The same year on 29 December, his loan to Super League Greece side Panathinaikos was confirmed.[10]

On 19 June 2023, Puchacz was sent to 1. FC Kaiserslautern on another loan.[11] He recorded one goal and thirteen assists in all competitions across the 2023–24 season, as FCK finished the league season in 13th and reached the 2023–24 DFB-Pokal final.[12]

On 9 January 2025, Puchacz moved to EFL League One club Plymouth Argyle on loan for the rest of the 2024–25 season with an option to buy.[14]

In the summer of 2025, Puchacz was approached by Lech Poznań and Slovan Bratislava, but rejected offers from both clubs.[15] On 8 September, the Polish transfer window deadline day, Puchacz was scheduled to undergo a medical ahead of a loan move to GKS Katowice, but pulled out last-minute.[16]

The following day, he joined Sabah on a season-long loan.[17] On 14 May 2026, after winning the domestic double with Sabah, Puchacz joined them on a permanent basis.[18]
