Club Career

FK Zeleziarne Podbrezova

Kiwior made his Fortuna Liga debut for Zeleziarne Podbrezova against Nitra on 16 February 2019. Kiwior played the entirety of the 3–1 victory at pod Zoborom.

MSK Zilina

In August 2019, Kiwior's transfer to MSK Zilina was announced. He made his debut in the yellow jersey on 10 August 2019 during an away fixture against Ruzomberok. While Zilina grabbed a three-goal lead in the first half, Ruzomberok scored two in the second period and hence Kiwior was brought on to secure the defence, as a replacement for Lukas Janosik. Sosoni managed to keep the 3:2 win and remained undefeated in the league.

Over a month later, in his second appearance, Kiwior had debuted in the starting-XI against ViOn Zlate Moravce. While Zilina's defence remained unbeaten, the strikers had failed to score and then match concluded in a goal-less tie. On 9 November Kiwior had recorded his first assist with Zilina. At Stadion pod Dubnom, Zilina was behind Ruzomberok by two goals in the second half. Kiwior, a first-half replacement, managed to find Jan Bernat with a pass and narrow the score. Still, Zilina lost 1:2.

During the season, he also made sporadic appearances for the reserves competing in 2. Liga.

During the coronavirus pandemic, as Zilina had entered liquidation to survive financially and had consequently released 17 players, Kiwior remained unaffected.
