About Adrian
Adrian Paliś is the current leading scorer in Dragoons history. The Polish striker started his footballing journey at Bieżanowianka Kraków before moving to Garbarnia Kraków II. Whilst at Garbarnia, Paliś played in the 5th level of football and reached the semi-final of the Małopolski Puchar Polski region.
Paliś had a loan spell with Wieczysta Kraków before joining the Dragoons. Paliś played with the Expats in the Kraków Sunday league and continued his journey with the club since their inception to the league pyramid, scoring in the Expats first ever competitive fixture. Adrian has scored some key goals in a Dragoons jersey, and has also turned provider on a few occasions too. The striker has clever movement around the box and is also deceptively strong on the ball.
Adi’s favourite Dragoons moment is the game against Pychowianka in the 2020/21 season. The striker finished his holiday early especially to play, but found himself on the bench, much to his ire. Paliś came off the bench at half time determined to make his mark, winning and smashing home a penalty to seal a 2-1 victory for the Dragoons.
The striker left the club to resign for Bieżanowianka Kraków after the 20/21 season and netted against the Expats as the side won promotion. Following a spell at Płomień Kostrze, Paliś made a long awaited return to the Dragoons ahead of the 25/26 season. He made his second debut for the Expats in the Puchar Polski, scoring in a minute to record his 6oth goal and extend his league as the clubs highest ever scorer!
Adrian is a fan of Real Madrid, but also supports Wisła Kraków and Garbarnia. His football heroes include Italian Maverick Mario Balotelli, Brazilian Ronaldo and former Israel and Wisła wideman Maor Melikson.
