Biography

Marcin Bulka came through the Chelsea youth academy before signing for Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2019. Following two first-team appearances (against Metz and Lens), the Poland U21 international joined Spanish second division side Cartegena — playing four times — and then French Ligue 2 club Châteauroux — playing nine games — on loan for the remainder of the 2020/21 season.

The Polish keeper, on loan at OGC Nice (with option to buy) from Paris Saint-Germain, played the entire Coupe de France campaign. He made the difference during the penalty shootout win over PSG in the Round of 16 (0-0, 6-5 on penalties) and played in the final against Nantes. The goalkeeper also featured in Ligue 1, against Clermont and sees his option to buy clause activated by Le Gym at the end of the season.  He is now a permanent Niçois.

In 2022-2023, Bulka played in three Conference League matches and two Ligue 1 matches, before seeing his season curtailed by a dislocated left shoulder. 

A hard blow that made him even stronger, as he made a winning comeback. Number 1 goalkeeper for the 2023-24 season, he had a brilliant year at the helm of L1's best defence. In the red-and-black cage, he impressed, completing 17 clean sheets in the league and forging a special relationship with the fans, who voted him Aiglon of the season with 49% of the vote.

Marcin became a Polish international in November 2023, and was selected with Poland for the Euro 2024 finals.

He was Franck Haise's most-used player in the 2024-25 season, making 40 appearances in all competitions, including 34 in L1.
