Career
Playing for IF Brommapojkarna since childhood, Malachowski advanced through its elite boys teams, and became a Sweden youth international.[2] When he was 16 years old, Brommapojkarna refused an offer from AS Roma to buy him.[3] He contested the 2022 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[4]
He first appeared on the bench for Brommapojkarna in 2021, made his Cup debut in August 2022 and his Superettan debut in November 2022.[5] However, he found it difficult to establish himself in the first team. Following a loan to AFC Eskilstuna in 2023, he transferred to Sandvikens IF in 2024 on a three-year contract.[3]
Having impressed in the 2024 Superettan, Malachowski was bought by Allsvenskan club Mjällby AIF in January 2025.[6] He scored his first Mjällby goals in the ultimate friendly match in March 2025 before the start of the 2025 Allsvenskan.[7] His first league goal came against Hammarby, helping Mjällby win 3–1.[8] He continued scoring goals, and Mjällby found themselves atop the Allsvenskan table after one third of the season.[9][10]
