Sławomir Konrad Peszko ([swaˈvɔmir ˈpɛʂkɔ]; born 19 February 1985) is a Polish international footballer who plays as a midfielder. He currently plays for Lechia Gdańsk in the Polish Ekstraklasa.
Peszko won cup and championships in his native Poland with Wisła Płock and Lech Poznań before moving to German football with 1. FC Köln in 2011. After an eighteen-month stay ended in relegation to the second level he departed for England in a loan deal with Wolves in August 2012.
Peszko began his career in the youth ranks of Nafta Jedlicze before moving to Orlen Płock. Here, he made his professional debut on 28 August 2002 as a substitute in a Polish Cup tie against Jagiellonka Nieszawa. He made his league debut later on during the 2002–03 season and during the following campaign became a regular starter.
With Wisła Płock, he won both the Polish Cup and Supercup in 2006 and also featured for them in the qualifying rounds of that season's UEFA Cup competition. However, Płock were relegated in 2007 and Peszko remained with them for their I Liga campaign, during which he scored 16 goals in 26 appearances.
In June 2008 he returned to the top flight when he signed for Lech Poznań after his contract with Płock expired. His first season ended with him winning the Polish Cup for a second time, after he netted the only goal of the final against Ruch Chorzów. In his second season Peszko finished as the leading assist-maker in the league (with 14 assists), alongside his eight goals which helped the club win the league title.
Peszko moved to the German Bundesliga in January 2011, initially signing for 1. FC Köln until the end of the season. He underwent a medical before joining the club, where it was discovered he has four kidneys. His contract was extended during the season, but his first full campaign with the club proved a troubled one as the club were relegated. Shortly before the end of the season, Peszko was arrested for drunken behaviour in a taxi, which earned him a 25,000 Euro fine and saw him expelled from the Köln squad for their next fixture.
