For most of his career, Wozniak was loyal to Wisla Kraków, where he played in the years 1931 - 1947, scoring 102 goals in 140 games, and three times becoming vice-champion of the country (1931, 1936, 1947).

During World War II, he was captured by the Nazi German occupiers, and sent to Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp.
After the war, Wozniak remained in Wisla until 1947, then moving to the Recovered Territories, to the newly created club Orzel Zabkowice.
