On 27 September he kept a clean sheet in the derby game with Lokomotiv Plovdiv which was won by Botev Plovdiv with 2-0.[8]

Adam did not play in two consecutive games and he returned to the starting lineup for the last game of the 2014-15 season in A Grupa, 0-2 home defeat from Lokomotiv Sofia.[13] After this game it was announced that the contracts of Stachowiak and his friend, the midfielder Tomáš Jirsák, would not be renewed and both of them would leave the club.[14]

After leaving Denizlispor in 2020, after 6 months of bring a free agent, he signed for another Turkish club Altay SK in January 2021.[15]
