Senior career

Unton began his career at the youth levels with Arka Gdynia[2] before joining Arka's rivals Lechia Gdańsk in 1988. During his 8 seasons at Lechia, Unton played 212 times in the league,[3] and scored 36 goals[4] placing him in the top 20 for all time appearances and goals scored while playing for Lechia. Despite an enjoyable time with Lechia, Unton's most successful period was his time with Legia Warsaw. Despite only playing 14 games in all competitions, Unton won the Ekstraklasa and the Puchar Polski before leaving the club months after he joined.[5]

After Legia, Unton rejoined Lechia, now called Olimpia-Lechia Gdańsk due to a merger from Lechia Gdańsk and Olimpia Poznań. After the season Olimpia-Lechia were relegated, and Unton joined Polonia Warsaw. This started a period of Unton rarely staying at a club for more than one season. After Polonia, Unton played for Śląsk Wrocław, before playing for lower league Pomoranian sides Wierzyca Starogard Gdański and Stilon Gorzów Wielkopolski. Unton had a brief spell in Germany from 1998 to 2000 with Eisenhüttenstädter FC Stahl, before re-joining Arka Gdynia who he played for as a youth. With Arka, Unton won promotion from the third tier, after winning the league. Unton played for 3 more teams after Arka, all smaller Pomeranian teams, Kaszuby Połchowo from Połchowo, GKS Luzino from Luzino, and Zatoka Puck from Puck.
