Cebulak was born in Kraków, and started his career with Wisła Kraków, but his occupation as a professional soldier of the Polish Army forced him to change clubs on several occasions. He played for military clubs from Wilno and Grodno, eventually joining Legia Warsaw, where he played from 1927 until 1936. Then Cebulak moved to Warszawianka, where he ended his career in late 1938.
Playing for the Poland national team, Cebulak earned his first cap on 23 August 1931 against Romania. Altogether, he was capped five times for Poland, participating in the 1936 Olympic Games. He died in Warsaw.[2]
