Cole Mrowka (born April 6, 2006) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a midfielder for USL Championship club Colorado Springs Switchbacks, on loan from Major League Soccer club Columbus Crew.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Mrowka started his youth career in the academy of Chicago Fire FC before moving to Sockers FC, and then finally settling with the Columbus Crew Academy, where he signed an amateur contract with the second team on August 14, 2022. He made his debut the same day in a 3–3 draw versus FC Cincinnati 2. [1] [2] He would go on to sign a professional contract with the second team a year later on August 18, 2023. [2] [3]
On March 5, 2024, he signed a homegrown contract with Columbus Crew, [2] and made his debut for the first team on May 16 during a 3–1 win over CF Montréal. [4] On August 23, 2024, Mrowka was loaned to Colorado Springs Switchbacks.

During the 2025 season, Mrowka made his season debut for Columbus as a second-half substitute in a CONCACAF Champions Cup game against Los Angeles FC. Having appeared only three times across all competitions for the first team, he was loaned out for a second time to Colorado Springs, with the loan being announced on August 29th. [9] In his first game back with the Switchbacks, he scored the second goal in a 2–0 victory at home to FC Tulsa. [10]
