Wojciech Mońka (born 18 January 2007) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Ekstraklasa club Lech Poznań.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Poznań, Mońka started his youth career with 1922 Lechia Kostrzyn before joining the youth ranks of Lech Poznań at the age of 10. Over the years, he won the Central Junior League under-15 and under-19 titles as he moved through each stage of Lech's academy.[1]

In April 2023, Mońka was promoted to the reserve team.[2] He made his first professional appearance on 6 October 2023, playing the full 90 minutes of a 1–3 II liga loss to Stal Stalowa Wola.[3]

On 3 August 2024, Mońka made his debut for Lech's first team as a late substitute in a 3–1 league win over Lechia Gdańsk.[4] In his second Ekstraklasa appearance and first start for Lech, he provided an assist to Afonso Sousa in a 2–1 away loss to Górnik Zabrze on 6 December 2024.[5] On 12 March 2025, his deal was extended until June 2029.[6] Mońka started featuring more regularly towards the end of the season, as Lech ended the 2024–25 campaign by winning their ninth Ekstraklasa title in the final round of the season.[7]

Mońka was dropped back to a back-up role at the start of the 2025–26 season. He made his second league start of the season on 23 November 2025 in a 4–1 win over Radomiak Radom. He then started 25 out of the remaining 28 games of the season, including the Ekstraklasa, the Polish Cup and the UEFA Conference League, establishing himself as Lech's primary centre-back.[7] At the conclusion of Lech's successful title defense, Mońka won the Ekstraklasa Defender of the Season award.[8]

International career

[edit]

A youth international for Poland, Mońka earned his first cap for the Poland under-15s in a 2–0 friendly win against Ireland on 12 October 2021.[9]
