Club career

edit

Čišovský played for his home team Chemlon Humenné until 1999, when he transferred to Inter Bratislava. While playing for Inter, he became champion of the Slovak league twice and also won the Slovak Cup twice. In 2004, he signed with MŠK Žilina. From 2006 to 2008 he played for Artmedia Bratislava, before leaving for Romania's Politehnica Timișoara.

He suffered a seven-month long injury[citation needed] and came back on 11 April 2010 and played 90 minutes against FC Ceahlăul. On 5 August 2010 he scored the qualification goal in 93rd minute against MyPa in Europa League making it 3–3. Čišovský scored one goal in 2–0 win against Oţelul Galaţi.[2]

In 2011, he joined Czech club Viktoria Plzeň. He missed the entirety of their 2014–15 league conquest due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Manager Miroslav Koubek said he would trade the title to cure Čišovský, who attended their title celebrations as the crowd sang his name.[3]

In 2016 a charity event was held in Prague in support of Čišovský.[4]
