Club career

Karol Borys first played in Otmuchów before joining the Śląsk Wrocław Academy in 2013.[2] He signed his first professional contract there in October 2021,[2] having previously attended a trial at Manchester United.[3][4][5]

On 21 May 2022, Borys made his professional debut for Śląsk's first team, coming on as a substitute in the last 20 minutes of a 3–4 home loss to Górnik Zabrze during the last matchday of the 2021–22 season.[3][5][6] By doing so, he became the first player born in 2006 to appear in Ekstraklasa and displaced Mirosław Pękala as the youngest player in the history of the Silesian club.[3] On 11 October 2023, he was named by English newspaper The Guardian as one of the best players born in 2006 worldwide.[7]
