Radosław "Radi" Majewski (Polish pronunciation: [raˈdɔswaf maˈjɛfski]; born 15 December 1986 in Pruszków) is a Polish footballer who is currently player of Ekstraklasa side Lech Poznań. He also plays for the Polish national football team.

Career

Majewski began his career at his hometown club Znicz Pruszków. In 2007 he was signed by Dyskobolia Grodzisk Wielkopolski following an impressive performance against the then-Ekstraklasa side. In 2008 he moved to the Polish capital due to Dyskobolia's merger with Polonia Warsaw. However, after some lackluster performances and criticism of his off-pitch lifestyle, the club decided to loan him to Nottingham Forest with the hope that the move would mature him and help him rediscover the form that got him into the Polish international set up in the years prior.

Nottingham Forest

Majewski joined Championship team Nottingham Forest on a season long loan on 23 July 2009. Forest paid a fee of £130,000 for his services and agreed a fee of roughly £1 million if they wished to sign him on a permanent transfer at any point during the loan.[2] He impressed immediately in red and white, scoring a 30-yard drive in the first minute for Forest against arch-rivals Derby in August.[3] His tenacity, intelligence and eye for a killer pass had not gone un-noticed by the Forest management, and in March it was revealed that they were looking to make the deal permanent. On 25 August, Majewski scored his first goal for Forest, giving Nottingham Forest victory in extra time of a League Cup match against Middlesbrough.[4] His first league goal came in the first minute of the match against bitter East Midlands rivals Derby County, where he smashed an 'unstoppable' shot in from the edge of the area, on 29 August 2009, with Forest winning 3–2.[5] On 8 January 2010, Majewski scored his fourth goal of the season in a stunning 3–1 away win at West Bromwich Albion to send Forest into 2nd in the Championship.[6]

Majewski's permanent move to Nottingham Forest was confirmed on 5 May 2010.[7] In the 2010–11 season, Majewski made 28 appearances,[8] limited by the good form of Lewis McGugan keeping him out of the team. Majewski scored two league goals, one against Swansea City[9] and one against Coventry City.[10] So far in the 2011–12 season, Majewski has scored six league goals. The first was in a 3–2 away defeat to Southampton,[11] and the second was a half-volley that proved to be the winner against Blackpool,[12] in a performance that saw him and team-mate Wes Morgan feature in Sky Sports' Football League Team of the Week.[13] On 31 March 2012 in an away league match against Crystal Palace, Majewski scored a hat-trick,[14][15] in a performance that saw him named in Sky Sports Football League Team of the Week.[16] He followed that up with a late consolation goal in a 2–1 away defeat to Hull City.[17] Majewski did not score in the 2012–2013 season until, much like the previous season, he scored a hat-trick against Huddersfield Town a game which Forest won 6–1. Majewski continued to flourish under the reappointed of Billy Davies with goals coming away from home at Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton Athletic. Majewski terrific form helped him earn a place in Poland national football team World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and San Marino.

Huddersfield Town (loan)

On 29 July 2014, Majewski joined fellow Football League Championship side Huddersfield Town on a season-long loan, wearing the number 45 shirt. He made his début for the Terriers in the 4-0 defeat by A.F.C. Bournemouth on 9 August.

Veria

After being released on a free transfer from Nottingham Forest, Majewski was approached by the Superleague Greece side Veria, which at the same time were ready to sign to their squad the Algerian winger and former team mate of Majewski, Djamel Abdoun. Veria's interest was expressed firstly on 7 August 2015.[18] Five days later, on 7 August 2015, Majewski signed a two year contract with the Greek club.[19] Majewski debuted for Veria on 23 August 2015 against PAS Giannina.

Majewski scored his first goal for Veria during a Greek Cup match against Atromitos with a powerful shot outside the six yard box.
