Košický began his career with hometown club Inter Bratislava, where he advanced from the youth system into the senior squad, where he made 12 appearances before he was sold to Sicilian giants, Calcio Catania of the Italian Serie A.
Košický was purchased from Inter Bratislava, during the 2008–2009 summer transfer window. In his first season with the Sicilian club, Košický was the third choice goalkeeper, behind Albano Bizarri and Ciro Polito. However, during the January 2009 transfer market, Catania loaned Ciro Polito to US Grosseto FC, and in return, Paolo Acerbis was brought in from US Grosseto FC, also on loan. Košický originally remained third choice, but eventually he was used as the second choice goalkeeper.
In April 2009 it was confirmed that first choice goalkeeper, Albano Bizzarri would not be renewing his contract with Catania, thus head coach Walter Zenga opted to use Košický as the starting keeper in order for the young Slovak to gain experience.[2] Košický even served as captain for Catania in the 16 May 2009 Serie A fixture versus AS Roma.[3] Košický began the new season as a reserve goalkeeper again, following the transfer of Argentine International, Mariano Andujar, as well as veteran Andrea Campagnolo. Košický made his 2009–2010 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.
