Inter Toronto forward Tomasz Skublak brings a unique balance to the club’s attacking line, combining professional experience on the pitch with a disciplined career off it.
One of the club’s newest signings, Tomasz has previously played both semi-pro and professional soccer in Canada and abroad. Back in the 2019 Canadian Premier League season, he attracted interest from multiple CPL clubs before ultimately taking his talents to another CPL club, Halifax Wanderers FC, for the year.
Fast forward five years, and he just made his second debut in the league, this time suiting up for Inter Toronto.
The 28 year old played 70 minutes in the home opener against his former club during a 2-2 thrilling draw at York Lions Stadium.
“It was a cool experience, it was nice to play the old team. I think there is only one player on there that was actually on the team when I was playing there, so it was nice to see Andre Rampersad when I saw him,” said the Canadian striker.
Skublak also reflected on how he’s adapting to the Canadian Premier League after playing in League1 Ontario, now known as the Ontario Premier League, where he earned Most Valuable Player honours: “Definitely a lot of fitness required obviously, as you are playing CPL and not League 1, so there is a bit of a difference and transition there. I think what I am more excited for is playing there.”
Tomasz has been a full-time realtor for the last three years, helping families find their dream homes while balancing his football career, managing a demanding schedule that reflects his discipline and commitment.
“Once training is finished, I am already on the phone with clients. It is tough, but I am managing it well. What my schedule typically looks like is training until 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM, team lunch is done at 12:30, and I’m usually with clients from 1:00 until 9:00, that's what my day looks like”.
Tomasz said he decided to become a realtor because he wanted to be more business savvy and have an understanding of how to maximize his money. That same mindset translates into his approach with Inter Toronto, where he sees a clear collective focus.
“What really got me into it was the books I was reading on finances, whether it was investing in the stock market or investing in real estate. A lot of the books I read and courses I did, I enjoyed.”
When speaking about the club's goals for the 2026 Canadian Premier League season, Skublak had very positive things to say about the team and year ahead.
“I think everyone is on the same page at Inter Toronto about just winning the league. We were pretty unfortunate in that first game to get that result. The goal is to provide as much as I can for the players on the team in order to achieve what we want to get to as a team together.”
Inter Toronto returns to York Lions Stadium this Sunday, April 19 at 5:00 PM ET to face Vancouver FC.
