Ryszard Gorski has represented Great Britain in Turkey at the Summer Universiade in 2005. He also played for Dundee of the Scottish Premier League as a youth player. Ryszard also competed for the Division 1 LIU Blackbirds from 2002-04, helping them in his senior year to their first Northeast Conference title since 1997 and first NCAA College Cup berth since 1986. He posted seven shutouts his senior year, closing his career with 22. As a junior in 2003, he was ranked 13th in the nation with a 0.64 goals-against average and broke the school record for not conceding a goal in 621 minutes of play. He finished his college career with stats of: 52 games played, 196 saves, 47 Goals Against. Resulting in a 0.876 GAA, .802 SV% and 22 Shutouts.
In his time after college, Ryszard signed with Huntly FC of the Highland Football League in Scotland. He played a season there before returning stateside.
Most recently Ryszard helped the likes of the DFW Tornados of the PDL where he guided them to a 14-5 record in 2004 and with the Cocoa Expos of the PDL where he guided them to a 11-3-2 record in 2005. 2006 saw Ryszard playing for the Brooklyn Knights before ending the season with the Expos again, this time back stopping a young team with a very respectable 6-2-1 record. 2007 Saw Ryszard move to the PDL Palm Beach Pumas but after four matches he was transferred to the newly created FESL (Florida Elite Soccer League) & Treasure Coast Galleons. Ryszard helped the Galleons reach the playoffs where the Galleons would move on to become 2007 FESL Champions. Gorski's efforts with the Galleons got him voted as the second best keeper in the league, thanks in part to a sparkling performance against the World All-Stars on 30 June 2007. More recently he has been linked to big Scottish clubs Celtic and Rangers as a raw talent "project."
