Club career
New England Revolution
Buksa signed for the New England Revolution on 12 December 2019. His reported transfer fee of $4.5 million made him the second-most expensive signing in the franchises' history behind Gustavo Bou. He became the third Polish-born player to represent the Revolution, joining Rob Jachym (1997–98) and Janusz Michallik (1998).[2][3] Buksa made his first appearance for the team in the season opener, a 2-1 loss to Theirry Henry's Montreal Impact on 29 February 2020.[4] He scored his first goal for the Revolution in the 28th minute the franchises' home opener against the Chicago Fire on 7 March 2020, assisted by Brandon Bye. It was the first goal scored by a first-year Revolution player in a home opener since Saër Sène in 2012 against the Portland Timbers.[5]
