Club career

Wasilewski (nicknamed "Robocop" because of his tough style of play) began his career at Hutnik Krakow . In 2000 he moved to Śląsk Wrocław , who at that time had been promoted to the Ekstraklasa . After relegation from the first division in 2002, he moved to league rivals Wisła Płock .

After the team had achieved the best result in the club's history with fourth place in 2005, Wasilewski signed with Amica Wronki . After the club merged with Lech Posen in 2006 , he stayed with the merged club for half a year before moving to the first division at RSC Anderlecht in Belgium for 800,000 euros during the winter break .

In the league game between RSC Anderlecht and Standard Liège on August 30, 2009 Wasilewski was fouled by his opponent Axel Witsel and suffered a double open leg fracture. The foul drew considerable criticism; Among other things, death threats were made against Witsel.

On November 27, 2010 he made his comeback against RSC Charleroi when he came on for Jan Polák . In the following game against SV Zulte Waregem he scored a goal. His contract was then extended to 2013. For the 2013/14 season Marcin Wasilewski moved to the English second division team Leicester City and signed a one-year contract. After the end of the 2014/15 season Wasilewski extended his contract by one year until summer 2016. His contract ultimately expired in summer 2017 and was not extended. In November 2017 Marcin Wasilewski returned to Poland and signed a contract with the traditional Polish club Wisła Krakow until the end of the 2017/2018 season . He made his debut for Wisła Krakow in the Ekstraklasa on November 27, 2017 .
