International career
The former U-21 team player earned his first call up to the Poland national football team on 19 December 2009 for the King's Cup in Thailand.[9] However, he was retained by his club due to the tournament's scheduling outside of the official FIFA calendar for international matches.[10] On 4 May 2010, he was called up for the friendly games in May 2010.[11] He made his international debut on 29 May 2010 against Finland.[12] His first international goal came against the United States in October 2010.
