Born in Kensington,[4] London, Koiki began his career in the youth team of Crystal Palace before being released at the age of eleven.[5] He later moved to Burnley in the summer of 2016 following a trial, after he had been spotted playing local football for Kinetic Academy,[6] in Croydon.[2][7] He signed his first professional contract at the end of the 2017–18 campaign having moved up to the development squad at the start of the season.[2] He moved on loan to League Two side Swindon Town in January 2019 until the end of the season.[8] He made his professional debut on 12 January 2019 replacing Matthew Taylor as a substitute in the 2–2 draw with Lincoln City.[9]
He was offered a new contract by Burnley at the end of the 2019–20 season, but rejected the offer and left the club.[10]
