Kovácsik began his career as a youth player by Budapest Honvéd FC. He played first as a field player, however, yet at the age of seven stood between the sticks. In 2002 he moved to city rivals Ferencvárosi TC. In his second year by Ferencváros, Kovácsik won the Christmas Cup ahead of the youth sides of A.C. Milan and FC Barcelona. In 2006 he was member of the team that won the European final of the Nike Premier Cup, one of the most prestigious tournaments in the younger age categories. For his performances in that year, he was handed the Tibor Simon Award (Simon Tibor-díj), a prize named after former loyal Ferencváros defender Tibor Simon, which is given to individual who showed the most sprited display throughout the season.[2]
In the following year Kovácsik signed to Reggina Calcio. Although he made his senior debut for the Southern Italian side on 30 May 2010 against U.C. AlbinoLeffe as a late subtitute, Kovácsik remained only a reserve player until the departure of first choice keeper Christian Puggioni in the summer of 2011. Starting from the 2011–12 season Kovácsik got more playing minutes and produced some excellent performances, including saving two penalties in a 3–0 win over Brescia in October 2011.[3]
Kovácsik represented Hungary since the youngest age levels. His best result on the international stage came at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup, where he obtained the bronze medal.
