Raków Częstochowa has added a new versatile player – 19‑year‑old Jakub Jendryka, who signed in July 2026. The youngster, capable of playing as a winger or a box‑to‑box midfielder, arrives from Ruch Chorzów, where he made 15 second‑division appearances and scored two goals.
Who is Jakub Jendryka?
Jakub Jendryka is a product of Jutrzenka Bychlew's academy and later trained at Pogoni Zduńska Wola, Widzew Łódź and Legia Warsaw. He debuted for Legia's reserves in spring 2024, then moved to Unia Skierniewice before the 2025/26 season and later to Ruch Chorzów. His adaptability and experience in various tactical systems attracted Raków's scouts.
Why does the transfer matter for Raków?
Raków Częstochowa is fighting for the title, currently 4th in the Ekstraklasa with 55 points after 34 games (16 wins, 7 draws, 11 losses). The team has scored 51 and conceded 40 goals (+11 goal difference). Adding Jendryka deepens the squad, especially in case of injuries or rotation, and gives the coach flexibility without sacrificing quality.
What lies ahead?
After the recent 3‑0 victory over Arka Gdynia on 23 May 2026, Raków is on a four‑match winning streak (WWWWL). Jendryka could debut in the next fixture, helping maintain momentum and narrow the five‑point gap to leaders Lech Poznań. His first appearance will be watched by fans and analysts alike, hoping for an offensive boost.
What are the club's other transfer plans?
In summer 2026 Raków aims to strengthen further: Dieudonne Gaucho Debohi from Caen, Tarik Karić from FK Velez and Oliwier Kwiatkowski from Polonia Bytom. Departures include Zoran Arsenić (Legia Warsaw) and Paweł Dawidowicz (contract expired). Jendryka fits the strategy of adding multi‑position players ready to step in as needed.
What does this mean for supporters?
For Raków fans it’s another sign the club is relentless in talent hunting. Jendryka, only 19, already has experience across leagues and can inject fresh energy. If he finds form and fits the system, he could become a regular contributor to a campaign that brings the team closer to the championship.
Current stats: Raków Częstochowa sits 4th in the Ekstraklasa with 55 points and recently won 3‑0 against Arka Gdynia. This solid base underpins their ongoing push for the title.
