[edit] Club career
He previously played for Lokomotíva Košice, Ozeta Dukla Trenčín, Bohemians Praha, Sparta Prague and FC Slovan Liberec.
[edit] Sydney FC
In early 2009 he was linked with Australian A-League club Sydney FC for the 2009/10 season, where he would be reunited with former manager Vítězslav Lavička. On 3 April 2009, it was announced that Kisel had signed a one-year deal with the club.[1]
He scored his first goal for the Sky Blues at home against the Brisbane Roar, which Sydney won 2-1. He scored his second goal in Sydney's 2-0 win over the Melbourne Victory to help claim the A-League Premiership.
[edit] Slavia Prague
Despite Sydney FC offering a new contract, Kisel declined the offer and returned to the Czech Republic to continue his law studies.[2] In June 2010 he signed a 1-year contract with Slavia Prague.[3] Kisel played as captain for the 2010–11 Gambrinus liga.[4] Kisel played his final game with Slavia Prague in their 3-1 win over Bohemians 1905.[5]
[edit] Return to Sydney FC
On 8 February 2011, Kisel re-signed with Sydney FC for the upcoming 2011-12 A-League Season. He will not be eligible to play in the AFC Champions League due to Sydney FC's foreign spots being full.[6]
[edit] International career
Kisel has been in and out of the Slovakian national squad ever since he made his debut in 2002. He has also played several games for the Slovakian U-21 squad. He played several games in Slovakia's attempt to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany and he scored his first goal in qualifying Slovakia's 4-0 thumping of Luxembourg.
