We are delighted to announce the signing of striker Dawid Rogalski from Walton & Hersham – sponsored by our principal partner, OLBG.

The 29-year-old centre-forward, standing at 6ft tall and naturally right-footed, arrives at Meadowbank following another prolific campaign in front of goal, having scored 27 times in 49 appearances for the Swans during the 2025/26 season.

Born in Poland before moving to England at a young age, Dawid developed within the academies of several non-league clubs before joining Maidenhead United. He made his senior debut for the Magpies in January 2015, appearing as a substitute in a National League South fixture against Bath City.

After beginning his senior career in England, Dawid returned to Poland in 2017 to sign for GKS Tychy. He later enjoyed spells with Gryf Wejherowo, GKS Katowice and Resovia Rzeszów, gaining valuable experience across the Polish professional leagues.

During the 2018/19 campaign, he scored 11 goals in 34 appearances for Gryf Wejherowo before recording a further 10 goals in 27 matches for GKS Katowice the following season.

Dawid returned to English football with Chalfont St Peter in 2021, scoring seven times in 15 appearances before joining Marlow ahead of the 2022/23 season.

It was at Marlow where the striker established himself as one of the most prolific forwards in non-league football. He scored 10 goals during his first season before producing an outstanding return of 38 goals in 42 appearances during the 2023/24 campaign.

Dawid also found the net in Marlow’s play-off final victory over Leatherhead, helping the Blues secure promotion to the Southern League Premier Division.

In the summer of 2024, he joined Walton & Hersham and immediately made an impact, scoring in seven consecutive league matches across August and September. He finished his first campaign with the Swans having scored 24 goals in 41 appearances.

Another 27 goals followed during the 2025/26 season, taking Dawid’s record for Walton & Hersham to 51 goals across his two campaigns with the club and earning himself the title of ‘the Polish Pele’.

Across the eight seasons included in his career record, Dawid has scored 127 goals in 255 appearances. His strength, movement and intelligence in the final third have established him as one of the most dangerous centre-forwards outside the professional game. Dawid is comfortable receiving the ball into feet, linking play and using clever movement to create opportunities inside the penalty area, offering far more than traditional penalty-box poaching, and is capable of leading the line effectively.

Dawid has now made the move to RH4, adding further firepower to the squad.

Manager and Chairman Marc White added:

“Dawid is a striker I have admired for a long time. He is an elegant and intelligent player with an impressive range of finishes, and he is accustomed to playing in a team that dominates possession. He is a prolific goalscorer who will bring much-needed goals and valuable experience to the team. I am confident he will also be a fantastic addition to the group.”

On signing for the Wanderers, Dawid said:

“It feels great… I’m absolutely delighted to be here. Marc messaged me… when I saw who it was, I knew it was something I wanted to pursue.”
