Club career

On 21 August 2020, he returned to Radomiak Radom on a season-long loan.[2]

On 21 June 2022, Kochalski left Legia after seven years to join Stal Mielec on a three-year deal.[3] After spending a year as back-up for first-choice goalkeeper Bartosz Mrozek, Kochalski was promoted to the starting line-up from the start of the 2023–24 campaign. Across the season, he kept nine clean sheets in 33 appearances,[4] and made 111 saves, twelve more than any of his peers.[5] At the conclusion of the season, Kochalski was named the Ekstraklasa Goalkeeper of the Season.[6]

On 15 August 2024, Kochalski moved to Azerbaijani club Qarabağ on a three-year contract, with an option for a further year, for an undisclosed fee.[7]

International career

A former youth international, Kochalski received his first senior team call-up in June 2024, replacing the injured Oliwier Zych for Poland's preparation camp ahead of the UEFA Euro 2024.[8]
