Radosław "Radi" Majewski (Polish pronunciation: [raˈdɔswaf maˈjɛfski]; born 15 December 1986 in Pruszków) is a Polish footballer who is currently player of Ekstraklasa side Lech Poznań. He also plays for the Polish national football team.
Majewski began his career at his hometown club Znicz Pruszków. In 2007 he was signed by Dyskobolia Grodzisk Wielkopolski following an impressive performance against the then-Ekstraklasa side. In 2008 he moved to the Polish capital due to Dyskobolia's merger with Polonia Warsaw. However, after some lackluster performances and criticism of his off-pitch lifestyle, the club decided to loan him to Nottingham Forest with the hope that the move would mature him and help him rediscover the form that got him into the Polish international set up in the years prior.
Majewski joined Championship team Nottingham Forest on a season long loan on 23 July 2009. Forest paid a fee of £130,000 for his services and agreed a fee of roughly £1 million if they wished to sign him on a permanent transfer at any point during the loan. He impressed immediately in red and white, scoring a 30-yard drive in the first minute for Forest against arch-rivals Derby in August. His tenacity, intelligence and eye for a killer pass had not gone un-noticed by the Forest management, and in March it was revealed that they were looking to make the deal permanent. On 25 August, Majewski scored his first goal for Forest, giving Nottingham Forest victory in extra time of a League Cup match against Middlesbrough. His first league goal came in the first minute of the match against bitter East Midlands rivals Derby County, where he smashed an 'unstoppable' shot in from the edge of the area, on 29 August 2009, with Forest winning 3–2. On 8 January 2010, Majewski scored his fourth goal of the season in a stunning 3–1 away win at West Bromwich Albion to send Forest into 2nd in the Championship.
