Club career

edit

Born in Barczewo, Zahorski began his career playing for local club Pisa Barczewo, from where he moved to OKS 1945 Olsztyn. Later, he played for Tęcza Biskupiec before returning to Pisa. In the 2004–05 season, he moved back to Olsztyn, where he played until the autumn of 2005. In the spring of the 2005–06 season, he began playing for Dyskobolia Grodzisk Wielkopolski. On 4 March 2006, Zahorski scored on his Ekstraklasa debut in a 1–2 loss against Wisła Kraków, with Zahorski getting on the scoresheet in the 85th minute, only a minute after coming on the pitch. In early 2007, he was loaned to Górnik Łęczna.

Górnik Zabrze

edit

On 14 June 2007, Zahorski signed a contract with Górnik Zabrze, for a fee reported to be approx. 800,000 PLN. His good form resulted in a call-up to the Poland national team from Leo Beenhakker in late 2007. Across the 2007–08 season, he scored 10 league goals, including a goal in the Silesian Derby against Ruch Chorzów on 2 March 2008. After four and a half years, Zahorski left Zabrze, to move to German 2. Bundesliga club MSV Duisburg.
