Artur Adam Sobiech (; born 12 June 1990) is a Polish former professional footballer who played as a forward. He is currently the director of football of Ekstraklasa club Cracovia. From 2008 to 2025, he represented clubs such as Polonia Warsaw, Hannover 96, Lechia Gdaà Âsk and Lech Poznaà Â, among others.
Sobiech was born in Ruda à Âlàska. After spending four years at Ruch Chorzów, where he started his professional career, Sobiech joined Polonia Warsaw in July 2010. Polonia paid â¬1 million for him. He was named Ekstraklasa discovery of the year.
On 30 June 2011, Sobiech transferred to Bundesliga side Hannover 96, signing a contract until June 2014. In May 2013, the club announced that he had extended his contract until 30 June 2017.
On 9 August 2018, Sobiech joined Lechia Gdaà Âsk on a three-year contract. In his first season at Lechia Sobiech found himself to be the second choice forward behind Flávio Paixão. His season started well, scoring a hat-trick against Zagà ÂÃÂbie Lubin, but then only managed to score another four league goals in his next 23 games. Sobiech fared better in the Polish Cup that season, scoring three goals in four games, including scoring the only goal in the 2019 Polish Cup final against Jagiellonia Biaà Âystok to secure the cup win for Lechia. Despite statistically not having the best season, Sobiech played an important role in Lechia securing their joint highest league finish in their history of third, and leading the club to cup success. The following season started well for both Sobiech and Lechia, with Sobiech coming on as a substitute as Lechia won the Polish Super Cup.
After a promising start for Lechia in the 2019âÂÂ20 season, Sobiech left the club during the winter break for Fatih Karagümrük. In total Sobiech made 52 appearances and scored 16 goals in the club's most successful period in their modern history.
On 29 June 2021, Sobiech made his return to Polish football by signing a two-year contract with Lech Poznaà Â. Brought in as a back-up for club's captain Mikael Ishak, Sobiech saw limited playing time due to health issues. He contributed to the club's Ekstraklasa championship in the 2021âÂÂ22 campaign, and scored the third of Lech's goals in a 3âÂÂ2 away win over Italian side Fiorentina in a UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-final match on 20 April 2023. On 23 May 2024, having not made a single appearance that year after suffering a knee injury during the winter break, Lech announced Sobiech would leave the club at the end of the season.
On 30 August 2024, Sobiech joined Cypriot First Division club Ethnikos Achna on a one-year deal, with an option for another year.
On 4 July 2025, Sobiech retired from professional football after enrolling in the UEFA Executive Master for International Players course.
After playing for the Poland U-21 team, Sobiech received his first call-up to the Poland national team in May 2010. He debuted on 29 May against Finland, replacing Ireneusz Jeleà  in the 89th minute. The match ended in a goalless 0âÂÂ0 result. He scored his first goal on 22 May 2012 in a 1âÂÂ0 friendly win against Latvia. He represented the national team at the UEFA Euro 2012.
On 31 March 2026, Sobiech was appointed director of football of Ekstraklasa club Cracovia.
