Early life
Getting into football at the age of six with FK Vllaznia in his home country, Ciku moved to Greece in 1997 where he joined the youth ranks of AE Peristasi,[1] living there for nine years[2] crediting his success as a professional footballer to his father who succored him in his rise.[1]
Career
Turning out for MFK Karviná of the Czech National Football League from 2009 to 2014, the Albanian midfielder got used to the climate there[2] before transferring to GKS Katowice in Poland[3] where he did not get paid for half a year despite a large fan support for the club.[4] Ciku then ended up at FC MAS Táborsko, again in the Czech Republic, where he settled in well[4] before departing in 2017.
