On 12 August 2020 he was loaned to Chrobry Głogów for the 2020–21 season.[1] In 2023, he was loaned to Polish champions Raków Częstochowa, a UEFA Champions League contender.[2] On 22 May 2024, Raków announced Bieszczad would depart the club upon the expiration of his loan deal, as they decided not to activate the buy option.[3]
Charity work
At the start of the 2022–23 season, Bieszczad launched the Murowane pomaganie charity campaign, pledging to make a donation of PLN 1,000 for every clean sheet kept.[4] Other goalkeepers, such as Legia Warsaw's Kacper Tobiasz, Raków Częstochowa's Vladan Kovačević, Wisła Płock's Krzysztof Kamiński and Ruch Chorzów's Jakub Bielecki, have also pledged to take part in the initiative.[4] In December 2022, Bieszczad reported the campaign had gathered PLN 117,000 in donations.[4]
