Club career
Early career
At the age of 5, Gurgul joined the Jarocin branch of Akademia Piłkarska Reissa.[1] In 2017, he joined Lech Poznań's youth system.
With Gurgul as a regular in the starting line-up, Lech's U19 team won the 2022–23 Central Junior League title.[2]
Senior level
Gurgul made his senior debut for Lech Poznań II on 28 February 2023 in a 2–0 league win against Radunia Stężyca. [3] Less than two weeks later, on 12 March 2023, he made his first appearance for the senior team as a substitute in a 1–1 Ekstraklasa draw against Piast Gliwice.[4] Two days later, it was announced he had signed a new three-year deal with the club.[5]
On 30 April 2023, he was named in Lech's starting line-up for a league home game against Górnik Zabrze, which ended in a 0–1 loss.[6]
In September 2023, following international break, he replaced Elias Andersson as the first-choice left-back in the team's line-up and started in every Ekstraklasa game played by Lech that month. On 28 September, Gurgul scored his first professional goal in a 4–1 win against defending champions Raków Częstochowa, levelling the score from close range in the 6th minute.[7]
International career
Gurgul received his first call-up to the Poland U14s in 2019.[1] At the 2023 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, he appeared in all five games played by the under-17 team as they reached the semi-finals and secured a spot at the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[8]
He then made his debut for the under-18s as a substitute in a friendly against Croatia on 6 September 2023.[9]
He was part of the squad for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Indonesia,[10] and appeared in all three games played in the tournament by the Polish U17s.
