Club career
[edit | edit source]Miedź Legnica
[edit | edit source]Born in Starachowice, Bogacz joined Miedź Legnica's youth setup in 2020 from Delta Warsaw.[2] In September 2021, Bogacz was given the opportunity to train with the first team of Miedź Legnica due to his performances with the youth teams.
He was registered with the first team on 6 April 2023.[3] On 24 April 2024, he scored his first goal for Miedź in a 2–1 loss to Wisła Płock in a I liga match.[4] Bogacz finished the season with 5 goals in 14 matches.
On 26 July 2024, Bogacz scored his first two goals of the 2024–25 season in a 4–2 victory over Stal Stalowa Wola.[5] A few days later, on 29 July 2024, it was reported by TVP Sport in Poland that Serie A club Juventus were in talks to acquire Bogacz.[6] On 13 August, after receiving an offer from Major League Soccer club New York Red Bulls, Bogacz released a statement on Miedź's official website announcing his decision to stay, stating it was "simply too early" for him to move abroad and that "there will be time to sign big contracts" later in his career.[7]
New York Red Bulls
[edit | edit source]On 7 January 2025, it was announced that Bogacz was sold to New York Red Bulls for an undisclosed transfer fee, signing a four-year contract,[8] occupying a U22 Initiative roster slot.[9] During the early part of the season, Bogacz was sent on loan to affiliate club New York Red Bulls II. On 30 March 2025, Bogacz made his debut for the side, appearing as a starter and scoring in a 3–2 victory over local rival New York City FC II.[10] On 28 May 2025, Bogacz scored his first league goal in his first league start for New York Red Bulls in a 4–2 victory over Charlotte FC.[11]
