“I am very happy to join the club. I aim to immediately help the team in getting a third ISL title. The fans deserve it, and so does the club that has won the league two times already,” said Lukasz.

During his spell at Polish outfit Slask Wroclaw, he played a crucial role in the club’s second league title in 2011-12 and helped it lift the Polish Super Cup in the next year.
