Club career

Inter Bratislava

Košický began his professional career with hometown club Inter Bratislava, where he advanced from the youth system into the senior squad. He made 12 appearances for the club before being sold to Sicilian giants, Calcio Catania in the Italian Serie A.

Calcio Catania

In the summer of 2008, Košický officially signed for Calcio Catania as a reserve goalkeeper. In his first season with the Sicilian club, Košický was the third choice goalkeeper, behind Albano Bizzarri and Ciro Polito. During the January 2009 transfer window, however, Košický became the club's second choice as Catania opted to loan Ciro Polito to US Grosseto FC. In return, Paolo Acerbis was brought in from Grosseto, also on loan.

In April 2009 it was confirmed that first choice goalkeeper, Albano Bizzarri would not be renewing his contract with Catania, and thus head coach Walter Zenga opted to use Košický as the starting keeper in order for the young Slovak to gain experience.[1] Košický even served as captain for Catania in the 16 May 2009 Serie A fixture versus AS Roma.[2] Košický began the new season as a reserve goalkeeper again, following the transfer of Argentine International, Mariano Andújar, as well as veteran Andrea Campagnolo. Košický made his 2010 Serie A debut in a March 2010 match away to Chievo Verona, the game ended 1–1. That match proved to be his only appearance of the 2009-10 season, and the Slovakian failed to make an appearance during the 2010-11 Serie A season.

During the 2011-12 Serie A season, Košický again remained third choice, behind Andújar and Campagnolo for the third season in the running, however, following a mid-season fallout with the club, Andújar was released on loan to former club Estudiantes, and following his departure, Košický had appeared in three Serie A fixtures following an injury to Campagnolo in late January. However, after eventually losing his place to loan-signing Juan Pablo Carrizo, the player failed to feature again, and eventually transferred to the recently relegated Novara Calcio, as part of the deal that saw Takayuki Morimoto return to Catania.

Novara Calcio

On 22 June 2012 Košický officially transferred to Serie B side Novara Calcio.

Asteras Tripolis

On 22 July 2014 Košický officially transferred to Superleague Greece side Asteras Tripolis.[3]

gollark: Somewhat bad, in my IMO opinion.
gollark: It's actually quaternionic.
gollark: To some extent I guess you could ship worse/nonexistent versions of some machinery and assemble it there, but a lot would be interdependent so I don't know how much. And you'd probably need somewhat better computers to run something to manage the resulting somewhat more complex system, which means more difficulty.
gollark: Probably at least 3 hard. Usefully extracting the many ores and such you want from things, and then processing them into usable materials probably involves a ton of different processes you have to ship on the space probe. Then you have to convert them into every different part you might need, meaning yet more machinery. And you have to do this with whatever possibly poor quality resources you find, automatically with no human to fix issues, accurately enough to reach whatever tolerances all the stuff needs, and have it stand up to damage on route.
gollark: 3.00005.
