Club career

Peda came through the youth ranks of Legia Warsaw, before joining the then Serie A club of SPAL in January 2019, on a loan with an obligation to buy.[1][2] He eventually joined the club on a permanent basis the following summer.[3]

After a season where he took the spotlight in Primavera, playing 29 games and scoring one goal, Peda made his professional debut for SPAL on 18 September 2021, replacing Riccardo Spaltro during a 2–1 away Serie B defeat against Reggina.[4] A few days after his first game, he extended his contract until June 2024.[5]

On 1 September 2023, Palermo completed the signing of Peda on a contract until 30 June 2028, and loaned him back to SPAL for the 2023–24 Serie C season.[6]

International career

Peda is a youth international with Poland.[1][7] Having progressed through all the junior teams, he reached the under-20 selection in 2021.[8][9] He received his first U21 call-up in November 2021.[10]

On 5 October 2023, he received his first senior team call-up for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying matches against Faroe Islands and Moldova, to be played on 12 and 15 October.[11] He played the full 90 minutes in his debut in a 0–2 away win against the Faroese.[12]
