Thomas Adrian Szewczyk (born January 8, 1992 in Lubin ) is a German / Polish basketball player .

career

Szewczyk, whose father Zbigniew was a professional footballer in Germany and whose brother Maciej also started a competitive football career, was born in Lubin , Poland, moved to Germany with his family as a child, then lived in Bolesławiec in Poland, played basketball at KK StarBol Bolesławiec and returned with them 16 years back to Germany. He lived with a host family in Crailsheim and played basketball for the local TSV. In the 2011/12 season he made his first short assignment for the Crailsheim Merlins in the 2nd Bundesliga ProA . In the men's area, however, Szewczyk mostly strengthened the second Crailsheim team.

After a year with the regional league team BBG Herford (2013/14), he joined FC Schalke 04 in 2014. In 2016 he rose with the "Knappen" from the regional league to the 2nd Bundesliga ProB . In the third highest German division, he reached the semifinals with S04 in the 2017/18 season. Since Master Elchingen did not want to be promoted, Szewczyk moved up with his Schalke team and thus made it into the 2nd Bundesliga ProA. He left Schalke after the 2019/20 season to devote himself to completing his studies.
