Górnik Zabrze announced that Paweł Bochniewicz will represent them again after more than five years. Paweł Bochniewicz stated that Łukasz Milik contacted him while he was recovering from a serious knee injury and not yet training with the team, and told him that a return to Górnik Zabrze was always possible for him. Bochniewicz said that at the end of November, he asked Łukasz Milik to send an offer, and after receiving it, he believed they could reach an agreement within the proposed financial terms. Bochniewicz mentioned he could have stayed at Heerenveen until June, adding that the club treated him very well on a personal level and was transparent with him about his playing prospects. He noted his financial situation would have been better in the Netherlands, but his main goal was playing football. Górnik Zabrze officially announced Bochniewicz's return on Saturday.

The move of Paweł Bochniewicz to Górnik Zabrze has been officially confirmed. The 29-year-old will play for the club again from the spring round, having signed a contract valid until June 30, 2029, with an option to extend for another twelve months.

Paweł Bochniewicz has shown interest in possibly returning to Górnik Zabrze before he concludes his football career. He indicated that he would like to play for them again, though he is unsure if the club will be interested in him in the coming years. Bochniewicz has a significant history with Górnik Zabrze, having participated in 92 matches for the team, many of which he played as captain, before moving to Heerenveen in 2020 for a fee of 1.4 million euros. Currently, he is in the process of recovering from a severe injury, having undergone knee ligament reconstruction surgery for the second time after sustaining an injury in a match against RKC Waalwijk. Despite his injury, Bochniewicz continues to maintain a connection with Górnik Zabrze, actively keeping up with the club's developments and expressing his support.
