[3] Kucharski signed a two-year scholarship contract with the Sydney A-League men's side after coming through the academy ranks and performing well in the National Premier League side, having scored 19 goals in the 2022 NPL season. [4] He made his competitive debut for the senior men's team in the 2022 Australia Cup Round of 32 as a substitute against rival A-League side Central Coast Mariners at Leichhardt Oval, and scored in the penalty shootout which saw Sydney win and progress to the Round of 16.

On 13 August 2023, Kucharski was included in the youth-bolstered Australia Cup squad to take on Central Coast Mariners at WIN Illawarra Stadium in Wollongong.
