Biography

Magowski started his career in Bydgoszcz with BKS Bydgoszcz. It is not known how long he spent with BKS, but it is known that he moved to Polonia Bydgoszcz in 1985, aged 19. After 4 seasons with Polonia, Magowski joined Elana Toruń for a season,[1] before securing a transfer to I liga side Olimpia Poznań.

During his first spell with Olimpia, he made a total of 43 top flight appearances for the club over two and a half seasons.[2][3][4] Over the winter break he joined struggling Igloopol Dębica, but was unable to help the being relegated in his 14 appearances for the club.[5] As a result, Magowski was relegated with both teams he played for during the 1992–93 season, Olimpia from the I liga and Igloopol from the II liga. Magowski returned to Olimpia over the summer and spent the following season with Olimpia in the II liga, making a further 25 appearances for the club and scored 3 goals[6] as Olimpia went on to win the league.[7]

Despite being promoted the previous season with Olimpia, Magowski joined city rivals Warta Poznań for the start of the 1994–95 season. As the season progressed it was clear that Magowski was going to have another relegation on his record, and opted to rejoin Olimpia towards the end of the season. He made 26 appearances for Warta, and a further 5 for Olimpia that season, with Warta finishing bottom of the I liga. At the start of the 1995–96 season Olimpia Poznań were involved in a merger with Lechia Gdańsk creating the Olimpia-Lechia Gdańsk team, and with the team playing in the city of Gdańsk. Magowski made one appearance for Olimpia-Lechia[8] before opting to move to Germany for the next 4 seasons.

He initially joined VfL Herzlake in Germany, having an impressive first season, and finishing as the clubs top goalscorer with 10 goals.[9] Despite the impressive start in Germany for Magowski, he only managed 9 appearances the following season, and joined VfL Osnabrück where he struggled even more, making only 3 appearances the whole season.[10] He would return to VfL Herzlake for one last season, making 26 appearances and scoring 5 goals, to take his total in Germany for the four seasons to 70 league appearances and 16 goals. He returned to Poland, playing his final season with Pomerania Police before retiring in 2000. In total he made 75 appearances in Poland's top division scoring 4 goals.

After his playing career he has held roles in a managerial position with clubs such as; Start Radziejów, Pomowiec Kijewo, Mień Lipno, Unia Solec Kujawski, and Dąb Barcin. In 2013 he became a coordinator of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Football Association.[11]
