Oskar Zawada (born 1 February 1996) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Dutch club RKC Waalwijk, which he captains.

Club career

Zawada started his career at his local club, DKS Dobre Miasto. Later he moved to OKS 1945 Olsztyn. In 2012, he joined German club VfL Wolfsburg, aged 16. Two years later he made his senior debut for the reserve team.

In January 2016, he joined Dutch club FC Twente on a loan. On 26 January 2017, he was identified as surplus to requirements at VfL Wolfsburg and was sold to 2. Bundesliga side Karlsruher SC for an undisclosed fee.

In December 2017, it was announced that Zawada would join Polish Ekstraklasa club Wisła Płock for the second half of the 2017–18 season.

In October 2020, he joined the Polish Ekstraklasa club Raków Częstochowa.

In March 2022, following a short-lived stint at Korean side Jeju United, he joined Polish club Stal Mielec until the end of June.

In August 2022, he joined A-League side Wellington Phoenix (a New Zealand-based side) on a two-year contract. Zawada enjoyed his most successful season to date during the 2022–23 campaign, scoring a career-high 15 goals for the club. He followed it up with 7 goals in 14 league games in the 2023–24 season, during which Zawada saw limited playing time due to injuries.

On 4 July 2024, Zawada returned to Dutch football by joining Eredivisie club RKC Waalwijk on a two-year deal.
