Club career

Early career

Although his mother Lucyna originally wanted him to be a swimmer, young Jarosław always was more of a football fan. He started his career in a local club Pogoń Pieszyce, where he played until his friend helped him earn a transfer to Lechia Dzierżoniów. With time he established himself as one of the most important figures in the club and was often chosen as captain of the team and took free kicks even though he wasn't even 20 years old.

Zagłębie Lubin

He signed with Zagłębie Lubin in 2013 and after a year of playing in the reserve team, he made his debut in Polish top division on May 27, 2014 against Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała, coming on as substitute for Đorđe Čotra in 74th minute of the match.

The club eventually got relegated and started the 2014–15 season in second division. Jach made 13 appearances, helping the side to promotion.

In 2015–16 season, he scored his first goal in a 2-1 win over Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała on 22 November 2015. He helped his team to win a bronze medal in that season.

In the 2016–17 season and the departure of Maciej Dąbrowski to Legia Warsaw, he became a regular starter for Zagłębie and proved to be a crucial part of the team's defense, which turned out to be the 5th in the league. A series of performances however, was stopped by an injury which caused him to pause for 3 months.

Crystal Palace

Jach signed for Premier League club Crystal Palace on 23 January 2018 on a three-and-a-half-year contract.[2]

Çaykur Rizespor (loan)

In July 2018, Jach joined Turkish Süper Lig side Çaykur Rizespor on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season,[3] though his loan was ended early, in February 2019, after he made only five league appearances for the side.

Sheriff Tiraspol (loan)

Following his departure from Rizespor, Jach joined Moldovan side Sheriff Tiraspol on loan.[4][5]
