Rafal Mamla

Rafał Mamła was promoted from Korona II Kielce to Korona Kielce's senior squad on 1 August 2022. The goalkeeper had joined that academy in 2019, arriving from Granat Skarżysko-Kamienna, and spent the following seasons with the reserve side before making the step up. His initial contract ran to 30 June 2024, but the club later extended it to 2028.

That patience took time to pay off. Mamła did not make his Ekstraklasa debut until October 2024, and only won a settled starting role in the spring of the 2024/2025 season. Once in the team, he made 17 league appearances that campaign and kept four clean sheets. His form was enough to earn a nomination for the Ekstraklasa Young Player of the Month award in February 2025, though the prize went to Kamil Grosicki.

International recognition has not yet followed. In a July 2025 interview with Goal.pl, Mamła said he had never been in contact with Poland's under-21 coach and had not represented the country at any youth level. For now, his career remains built entirely around Korona Kielce, the club that raised him from its youth ranks and handed him a long-term deal before he had proven himself in Ekstraklasa.
