Pekalski began his career with Linero IF and has also played for Lunds BK, after few years with the club he was bought by Landskrona BoIS.[2] On 27 July 2009 Pekalski was transferred from Landskrona BoIS to Malmö FF.[3]
After only playing for the reserve team during his first year at the club he clinched a permanent spot in the starting eleven for the 2010 season. Together with Wílton Figueiredo he formed a very strong central midfield in 2010 and that was one of the major reasons why Malmö FF won the title. Consistent injury problems made Pekalski miss some matches for the 2011 season and he eventually decided to rest at the end of the season and focus on recovering fully for the 2012 season.
Pękalski's parents are from Rzeszów.[4] His father coached him until he was 14. He has a brother, Phillip, 12 years younger.[4]
