Oxford United are delighted to announce the signing of Poland international Przemysław Płacheta on a free transfer.
The 26-year-old joins having spent the last four years in English football, signing for Norwich City in 2020 and most recently spending the end of the 2023/24 season at Swansea City.
Płacheta arrives with plenty of high-profile experience across the Premier League and Championship, while also earning seven caps with his national team and playing in Euro 2020.
Starting his career in Poland, he also had spells in Germany with RB Leipzig and Sonnenhof Großaspach before returning to his homeland to play for Pogon Siedlce, Podbeskidzie and Slask Wroclaw.
Speaking for the first time as an Oxford United player, Płacheta said: “I’m very happy to be an Oxford United player and I can’t wait to play in front of the fans and meet my new teammates.
“I know I can be a good player in the Championship. My strengths are my dribbling, speed and directness and I know what the gaffer expects from his wingers.
“I want to add goals and assists to this team and I will do everything for the club to have a successful season.”
Des Buckingham, Head Coach, said: “We are extremely pleased to have a player of Płacheta’s quality in our squad for this Championship season.
“He offers incredible pace in our wide area and fits the profile we are looking for in our wide players.
“To add another player to the squad that has experience at this level is really important, and we believe Przemysław can make a big difference going forward and be a player that gets fans off seats.”
Ed Waldron, Head of Recruitment, said: “Przemysław is a very exciting player and one we are delighted to have in our group.
“We have worked hard to ensure we could bring Przemysław into this group we are building as he is a player that has shown his ability to play at Championship level and above.
“We are looking forward to seeing him in a United shirt and we believe he can make a real impact over his time in Oxford.”
