Club career

Youth career

Viksych played his youth football at the Ukrainian Youth Football League with teams such as RVUFK Kyiv, Monolit, and the FC Dnipro youth side.[1] He would secure his first professional contract with Chornomorets Odesa in 2012.[2][1]

Ukraine

After failing to break into the senior team with Odesa, he would instead make his professional debut with Shakhtar Donetsk's reserve team in the Ukrainian third division.[3] He would make 9 appearances for Shakhtar during the 2014–15 season.[4]

Following his brief season with Shakhtar, he ventured to Southern Ukraine to sign with Real Pharma Odesa.[1] He would re-sign with Odesa for another season in 2016.[5] After 3+1⁄2 seasons with Odesa, he signed a contract with Naftovyk Okhtyrka for the remainder of the 2017–18 season in the country's second-tier league.[6][7] In total, he would play in 45 matches in his first run with Odesa.[4]

He would play in 9 matches for Naftovyk.[4] For the 2018–19 season, he returned to the third division to play with Bukovyna Chernivtsi.[8] After a season with Chernivtsi, he departed from the team.[9][10][11] In 2019, he returned to his former club Real Pharma Odesa for the first portion of the campaign.[12] Viksych would compete in 7 matches in his final season with the Odesa-based club.[4] After his stint in southern Ukraine, he returned to the western side to once more sign with Bukovyna.[3] However, he failed to make an appearance with the club and was released shortly after the announcement of signing.[13]

Canada

In 2023, he played abroad in the Canadian Soccer League with the Toronto Falcons.[14] Viksych would assist the club in finishing third in the standings.[15] He re-signed with the Falcons for the 2024 season.[16]
