Having not impressed the coach during his final season, he moved to Widzew Łódź in 1985. However, the following year he was selected in Poland 's roster for the 1986 FIFA World Cup.[4] He won the Polish Cup in 1989. He also had a minor career in archery, in 1988. He decided to move to Celtic in 1989 and became a fan favourite after scoring four goals in a European Cup Winners' Cup tie against Partizan Belgrade. He left Celtic to join Bristol City in 1992.
Troubled years followed where he travelled all around Europe, but eventually he found himself settled back in Warsaw in his retirement season of 1996–97. Since his retirement, he has worked in Polish television as a football commentator. From July 2006 to May 2008 he was an assistant to Leo Beenhakker for the Poland national football team. In 1985, he was the winner of the Polish Footballer of the Year plebiscite organized by the Piłka Nożna football weekly.
