Club Career

Sobiech was born in Ruda Slaska. After spending four years at Ruch Chorzow, where he started his professional career, Sobiech joined Polonia Warsaw in July 2010. Polonia paid one million euros for him. He was named Ekstraklasa discovery of the year.

On 30 June 2011, Sobiech transferred to Bundesliga side Hannover 96, signing a contract until June 2014. In May 2013, the club announced that he had extended his contract until 30 June 2017.

On 9 August 2018, Sobiech joined Lechia Gdansk on a three-year contract. In his first season at Lechia Sobiech found himself to be the second choice forward behind Flavio Paixao. His season started well, scoring a Hat-trick against Zaglebie Lubin, but then only managed to score another 4 league goals in his next 23 games. Sobiech fared better in the Polish Cup that season, scoring 3 goals in 4 games, including scoring the only goal in the 2019 Polish Cup final against Jagiellonia Bialystok to secure the cup win for Lechia. Despite statistically not having the best season, Sobiech played an important role in Lechia securing their joint highest league finish in their history of third, and leading the club to cup success. The following season started well for both Sobiech and Lechia, with Sobiech coming on as a substitute as Lechia won the Polish SuperCup.

After a promising start for Lechia in the 2019–20 season, Sobiech left the club during the winter break for Fatih Karagumruk. In total Sobiech made 52 appearances and scored 16 goals in the club's most successful period in their modern history.

On 29 June 2021, Sobiech made his return to Polish football by signing a two-year contract with Lech Poznan.
