Under the decision of the Minister of Mining and Energy in 1972, another merger took place when the local mine in Nowa Ruda was merged with another in Słupiec to become one, which meant that its two football teams also merged, therefore ZKS Górnik Słupiec merged with Piast to become GKS Piast Nowa Ruda, before finally reverting it original prefix KS in 1992, a name which remains to this day.

The club's biggest footballing achievements came in the mid-1980s and early 1990s where the team has enjoyed spells in the higher leagues, including a season in the second highest division and several in the third tier.

They have friendships with fans of Nysa Zgorzelec, Polonia Bystrzyca Kłodzka, Bielawianka Bielawa and Kryształ Stronie Śląskie.

Piast fans also follow the local powerhouse WKS Śląsk Wrocław.
