DR Congo striker Aristote Otoka seals move to Inowroclaw of Poland
Aristote Otoka has completed a move from UKS Śrem to Cuiavia Inowrocław on a free transfer, joining the Polish club after his deal was formalised with effect from 2026-03-02 and running through to 2026-06-30.

The 26-year-old DR Congo striker leaves UKS Śrem with no transfer fee involved, adding attacking depth to Cuiavia’s squad in the Polish pyramid.

The deal continues Otoka’s now-established career in Poland, where he has been based for several seasons.

He arrives at Cuiavia Inowrocław from UKS Śrem after a short spell there, having signed for Śrem from LKS Ślesin on 2024-07-01.

Before that, he had also represented Sokoł Kleczew, Polonus Kazimierz Biskupi and KTS Weszło Warszawa, interspersed with periods as a free agent.

Otoka’s contract path over recent years underlines how frequently he has changed clubs. He moved from KTS Weszło Warszawa to free-agent status on 2020-07-01, then joined Sokoł Kleczew on 2022-01-01.

A loan took him to Polonus Kazimierz Biskupi on 2022-07-01, with the forward returning to Sokoł Kleczew at the end of that loan on 2023-06-30. His departure from Sokoł Kleczew left him again without a club from 2023-07-01, before LKS Ślesin picked him up on 2024-01-01. Six months later he switched to UKS Śrem, and now, in another free move, on to Cuiavia Inowrocław.

The transfer confirms that Otoka will continue his career abroad rather than in his homeland. Born on 06 Nov 1999 and holding DR Congo nationality, the striker has so far built his professional life entirely in Poland, competing in domestic competitions listed here under “N/A” rather than in any league in DR Congo. The current data does not list a market value for the forward, and there is no transfer fee attached to this latest move, suggesting Cuiavia see it as a low-risk opportunity to strengthen their attacking options.

Otoka’s main position is in attack, listed simply as a striker, and he is registered under the “Attack” category. No detailed statistics are provided for appearances, goals or assists in recent seasons, and there is no match-by-match breakdown of his performances at UKS Śrem, LKS Ślesin or his earlier Polish clubs. Likewise, there are no records in the data of specific recent fixtures, scorelines or individual match contributions.

Information on domestic or international reactions to the move is also absent from the data. There are no details on media coverage in DR Congo or Poland, nor on fan responses to his decision to remain in the Polish game. The dataset does not list any involvement with a DR Congo national team setup, and there is no indication of caps or call-ups at senior or youth level.

What is clear is that Otoka’s career pattern shows a player willing to move frequently in search of opportunities and minutes, mainly within the same national football ecosystem. With his contract at Cuiavia Inowrocław now confirmed from 2026-03-02 to 2026-06-30, the coming months will determine whether this latest free transfer provides the stability and platform he needs to establish himself as a consistent attacking presence in Polish football.
