Pogoń Szczecin has loaned 19-year-old defender Rafał Jakubowski to Chełmianka. The player joins the third-tier club for the 2026/27 season and will represent Chełmianka until the end of the campaign. Jakubowski is a product of Bałtyk Koszalin’s youth academy, where he played for the junior teams before moving to Pogoń Szczecin in the 2021/22 season. With the “Portowcy,” he has featured for both the youth and reserve teams.
Who is Rafał Jakubowski?
Rafał Jakubowski is a 19-year-old defender standing at 191 centimeters. In the 2025/26 season, he made 27 appearances for Pogoń Szczecin’s reserves, scoring one goal. The player has 31 matches in the Central Junior League and 54 games in the third tier under his belt. He has also been included in the first-team squad for seven Ekstraklasa matches but has yet to make his top-flight debut.
Why the move to Chełmianka?
The loan to Chełmianka gives Jakubowski the chance to gain experience at a higher level. Chełmianka is a third-tier team that can provide him with regular playing time. For Pogoń Szczecin, this is also beneficial, as the player will have the opportunity to develop and be ready to return to the first team in the future.
What’s next for Jakubowski?
Jakubowski will have the opportunity to showcase his skills at Chełmianka and prove that he deserves a place in Pogoń Szczecin’s first team. If he performs well, he could return to Szczecin as a more experienced player and compete for a spot in the starting lineup of the “Portowcy.”
