Born in Kraków, Giza moved to Cracovia during the 2002–03 season. He made his Ekstraklasa debut on 30 July 2004 against Zagłębie Lubin. After a falling out with his manager Stefan Majewski, he stopped being included in the squad, even though he was generally considered one of the best offensive midfielders of the league.
In 2007 after five years at Cracovia, he decided to play for Legia Warsaw on a loan deal. Though sometimes criticized for his poor performances and low goal count Legia decided to make the deal permanent for the 2008–09 season.
He re-signed with Cracovia on 13 December 2010.[2] He was released half year later.[3]
