Tomasz Kotowski Leaves Energa Manekin Toruń During 2025/26 LOTTO Superliga Season

“Tomasz Kotowski and Energa Manekin Toruń have mutually agreed to terminate the player’s contract during the 2025/26 season.” The departure of a long-serving figure removes a familiar face from Energa Manekin Toruń’s rotation and creates an immediate gap in the squad list used for LOTTO Superliga competition.

The federation’s summary also notes “Kotowski’s history with the club (multi-year spells since 2013).” That tenure makes Kotowski one of the more experienced domestic names associated with Toruń in recent seasons. His exit during the 2025/26 campaign is therefore significant for matchday selection, veteran leadership on and off the table, and roster registration considerations for upcoming fixtures.

A separate transfer-period compilation highlights broader activity around Energa-Manekin Toruń. “During the transfer period, the other teams were also busy. As many as five foreign competitors for the new season were entered by Energa-Manekin Toruń.” The same compilation lists the players who “will defend” the club’s colors as: Taimu Arinobu, Yuki Hirano, Ryohei Kanoya, Yuki Matsuyama, Ng Pak Nam and the national players Konrad Kulpa, Tomasz Kotowski, Damian Węderlich and Przemysław Walaszek. That roster passage names Kotowski among several international and national pieces the club has been assembling, but the roster line in the compilation is not dated within the passage and should be verified against official registration documents.

The City of Nicolaus Copernicus side now faces practical questions. Energa Manekin Toruń must confirm whether it will replace Kotowski from within its current group or seek a free agent or transfer signing before registration deadlines. Konrad Kulpa, Damian Węderlich and Przemysław Walaszek remain named national players on the compilation, and the club’s list of foreign competitors suggests management planned significant rotation options. Those plans may shift with Kotowski’s exit.

For wider league context, the transfer compilation also preserves a block labeled “Polska Leagues (season 2019/2020).Overview of transfers in the men's LOTTO Superliga [...] 16 Aug 2020” and names a range of players and clubs from earlier seasons. That historical material underlines how Superliga rosters can change season to season and why up-to-date registration checks matter for fans tracking line-ups.

What comes next is confirmation and clarity. Energa Manekin Toruń’s official roster filings and Kotowski’s personal plans - whether to sign elsewhere, step away from competition, or pursue a different role - will determine the practical impact on scheduling and squad strategy. Verify the club’s current registration list and watch upcoming match sheets to see how Toruń reshuffles its order in response to this midseason change.
