Lukazs Gikiewicz, the Polish journeyman aiming to leave a legacy at Al Faisaly

Amman: The latest stop in Lukazs Gikiewicz’s well-travelled career has brought him to Jordan, where he is looking to revive the Asian glory days of two-time AFC Cup winners Al Faisaly.

When Gikiewicz joined Jordanian champions Al Faisaly in February 2017, he was signing for a new club for the 16th time in his career. A journey that saw him play in places as varied as Bulgaria, Thailand, Kazakhstan and Saudi Arabia.

The Jordanian League is the seventh domestic competition Gikiewicz is playing in, but wherever he has been, the 30-year-old has always given his best for the shirt.

“For me it is not important where I play, when I sign for a club, I always give everything I can for the team. I may not be Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, but you can be sure that I give 100 percent in every training session and every game,” Gikiewicz told the-AFC.com
