Club career

edit

Kupisz joined Wigan Athletic in February 2007 after a successful trial. Previously he played for KS Piaseczno in Poland. He made his Latics debut on 26 August 2008 in a League Cup match against Notts County and scored the final goal in a 4–0 win.[1] Despite the goal, he was not given playing time in any cup matches afterward. This was mainly due to a lengthy injury Tomasz picked up shortly after.

In the 2009–10 season, he finished as the third highest goalscorer in the reserve league, with six goals in thirteen matches, playing primarily on the wing.[2][3] His goals included ones against Manchester United and Liverpool reserves.[4][5] However, he did not get any opportunities in the first team and his contract with the club expired in June 2010.[6]

On 2 June 2010, the Polish side Jagiellonia Białystok signed Kupisz, who was a free agent after the end of his contract with Wigan.[7] On 29 July, he made his official debut for Jagiellonia in a Europa League qualifying match against Aris Thessaloniki F.C., his side losing 1–2.[8]

On 5 July 2016, he joined Novara on loan from Chievo for the entire 2016–17 season.[9]

On 29 June 2017, he became a Cesena player.[10]

On 28 July 2018, he joined Serie B club Ascoli on a two-year contract.[11] On 22 January 2019, he moved to Livorno on loan.[12]

On 13 July 2019, he moved to Serie C newcomers Bari on a permanent basis. On 24 January 2020 he joined Serie B club Trapani on loan.[13] On 15 September 2020, he moved on loan to Salernitana with an option to buy.[14]

On 31 January 2022, Kupisz was loaned to Reggina with an option to buy.[15]

On 2 September 2022, shortly after terminating his contract with Pordenone, he left Italy and returned to Jagiellonia on a two-year deal, with an extension option.[16] He made 22 league appearances during Jagiellonia's title-winning 2023–24 season, and was released at its conclusion in June 2024.[17]

On 17 September 2024, Kupisz joined fifth tier club Hutnik Warsaw.[18]

International career

edit

Kupisz has represented Poland at under-19 and under-21 level. In December 2010, he made his senior international debut in a 2–2 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina.[19]
