Club Career

Mikoliunas was a regular in the first team for Hearts, however inconsistency always dogged his Hearts career. He silenced many critics with the winner at Tynecastle versus city rivals Hibernian on 26 December 2006. Mikoliunas announced on 2 December 2008 that he wanted to leave the Edinburgh club after the 2008–09 season, to take up a new football challenge after spending four years at the club. On 27 April 2009, it was confirmed with immediate effect that the midfielder and his Lithuanian colleague Deividas Cesnauskis had left Hearts.

The following month, Mikoliunas states he was to sign for Swansea City on a free transfer during the summer transfer window, but the move broke down after Swansea manager Roberto Martinez moved to Wigan Athletic.

Eventually, Mikoliunas signed a three-year contract with Ukrainian side Arsenal Kyiv.

On 9 May 2019, Mikoliunas received a UEFA B coaching license.
