Club career[edit]

Sobieszczyk began his career at Skawa Wadowice. He played at youth level at Skawa, before making his senior debut for the club in 2011. On 14 April 2012, he scored a goal in the 43rd minute against Iskra Brzezinka at a distance of 70 meters.[1][2]

In 2012, Sobieszczyk signed a contract with II liga club Puszcza Niepołomice, but he spent the 2012–13 season on loan at Wiślanka Grabie and Czarni Staniątki.[2] During his loan spell, Puszcza gained promotion to the I liga. He made his professional debut on 2 August 2013, in Puszcza's first home match of the season, a 2–1 defeat to Chojniczanka Chojnice.[3] On 21 September 2016, Puszcza reached quarter-final of the Polish Cup for the first time in club's history, beating Ekstraklasa side Lechia Gdańsk 4–2 in a penalty shootout. Sobieszczyk saved two penalty shots in the shootout, from Miloš Krasić, and Lukáš Haraslín.[4]

On 9 February 2018, Sobieszyk signed a contract with Motor Lublin.[5] On 18 June 2019, he joined newly promoted III liga side Hetman Zamość.[6]
