During his time with the Polish outfit, he appeared 19 times in the first team and scored once in the 2021 - 2022 season, following it up with 25 appearances and four goals in the subsequent 2022 - 2023 season.
Nawrocki then embarked on a journey to Scotland, joining the ranks of Celtic in the Premiership, for a sum in the region of £4.3m in July 2023. His first season saw him establish a presence in the first team with ten appearances. He continued his spell with the Bhoys into the 2024 - 2025 season, making three appearances and scoring once.
