Featuring in all 36 competitive matches whilst providing 7 goals and providing 5 assists, the Polish attacker underlined his importance for Effzeh in his first campaign.
“Kuba impressed us with his personality right from our initial discussions. He is down-to-earth, ambitious, and a true team player,” said managing director Thomas Kessler
"Last season, he demonstrated these qualities every day, both on and off the pitch. Therefore, it quickly became clear to us that we wanted to exercise our purchase option.
"His development and performances are also a prime example of why 1. FC Köln is an excellent destination for ambitious players to develop at a high level and take the next step in their careers.”
