Club career
In April 2009, the first-choice goalkeeper, Albano Bizzarri, did not renew his contract with Catania, and thus head coach Walter Zenga opted to use Košický as the starting keeper in order for the Slovak to gain experience.[1] Košický even served as captain for Catania in the 16 May 2009 Serie A fixture against AS Roma.[2]
On 22 July 2014, Košický officially transferred to Super League Greece side Asteras Tripolis.[3] In early 2023, Košický joined third-tier Czech club Vítkovice.[4]
International career
On 19 November 2013, Košický became one of the debutants for the Slovakia national football team in a goalless draw against Gibraltar.[5]
