In March McGing traded Central Coast Mariners for the Ekstraklasa oufit.

The 24-year old has hit the ground running in Poland, already making nine first-team appearances.

The Nafciarze are sitting in fifth spot in the eight-team relegation playoffs, with the bottom two teams relegated. But McGing's club are travelling well with four wins from their past five games.

"It’s been a different experience over here for sure, going from the summer of Australia playing in the A-League to getting off the plane it was one degrees," he told FTBL.

"It’s been really good so far, I’ve enjoyed it a lot. It’s a really professional club. We’re looking good to stay in the league, so hopefully we do. It’s a really good league, it’s got some unbelievable players.

"It’s been very different for me going from the A-League to playing in Europe. I’m definitely relishing it. The fans take it very seriously here. We’ve got a good group of fans."

McGing admits the change in standard from that in Australia has been an eye-opener.

"It’s a whole different style of football," he said.

"It’s very results-driven considering they’ve got relegation here, which is different to what I’ve had in the A-League before. It’s a really high standard and there’s teams that play in the Champions League and the Europa League.

"It’s a good league to test myself in. You’re basically playing for your life over here so it’s a whole different ball game."

A Marconi Stallions junior, McGing grew up in Western Sydney and signed for the Wanderers as an 18-year-old.

He joined the Mariners in 2014 and made his debut in the A-League in 2015.

McGing has always harboured European ambitions, but admits it was a difficult decision to leave the Central Coast after five years with the club.

"As a kid growing up you always want to test yourself out in Europe," he said.

"It happened so quickly when it came up. When it did it didn’t take me long to go for it and test myself out over here. [But] it was very tough. It was somewhere I hold close to my heart. I lived there for five years.

"I love the Central Coast, the lifestyle, everything about it. It was a tough decision to make but I just wanted to try something new and test myself over here."

Often featuring as a central defender or a defensive midfielder at Gosford, McGing has starred at right back for Wisla Plock.

"Right back is probably one of my favourite positions at the moment because I get to go forward," he said.

"It’s good. Having that versatility helps, as long as I’m in the team I’m happy."

Long-term, he is planning to impress in Poland and eventually earn a move to a more high-profile league.

"A lot of the players here move to Italy and Germany," McGing said.

"It’s a definitely a league that a lot of the scouts look at from the big European leagues. That’s the plan. I’ve just got do well here and hopefully that happens."
