Club career

Early career

Born in Sokołów Podlaski, [1] Czerkas started his career with Podlasie Sokołów Podlaski. [2] He signed for Świt Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki in summer 2002, [3] and made 9 league appearances during the 2002–03 season. [4] He joined Okęcie Warsaw on loan in summer 2003. [5]

Korona Kielce

On 8 February 2005, Czerkas signed for Korona Kielce on a five-year contract. [6] He scored in his first game for the club against Dyskobolia Grodzisk Wielkopolski in a friendly the following day, [7] and scored twice in 13 II liga matches across the rest of the season. [8]

He joined Odra Wodzisław on loan in summer 2005. [9] He scored 8 goals, 6 in the league, during a season-long loan with the club. [10]

On 18 July 2006, Czerkas joined Queens Park Rangers on a season-long loan. [11] His loan was terminated in December 2006, having made just 4 appearances in all competitions. [12] He later had an unsuccessful trial with Royal Charleroi before returning to play with Odra Wodzisław in January 2007. [13] [14]

He had an unsuccessful trial spell with Motherwell in July 2007. [15]

Return to Poland

On 16 July 2008, Czerkas signed for Ekstraklasa club ŁKS Łódź on a two-year contract, following a trial spell with the club. [16]

Łódź were denied a licence to take part in the 2009–10 Ekstraklasa and so Czerkas argued that his contract was no longer valid, as his contract was not valid outside of the Ekstraklasa. He agreed a contract with Cypricot club Enosis Neon Paralimni, but this transfer fell through due to delays with the PZPN confirming ŁKS Łódź's relegation. He had a trial with Górnik Zabrze [17] before the PZPN did eventually confirm ŁKS Łódź were relegated and he signed for GKP Gorzów Wielkopolski on 3 September 2009. [18] [19] He made his debut for Gorzów Wielkopolski on 5 September, scoring their goal in a 2–1 defeat to previous club ŁKS Łódź. [20] His contract with Gorzów was terminated in May 2010, having scored twice in 15 league matches with the club. [21]

He returned to former club Świt Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki in July 2010. [22]

On 13 July 2011, Czerkas signed for Pogoń Siedlce. [23] His contract was terminated, at his request, in January 2014. [24]

On 15 August 2014, Czerkas signed for Polonia Warsaw. [25]

On 31 March 2015, Czerkas returned to Legionovia Legionowo. [26]

In summer 2017 he extended his contract with Raków by a further year. [27] He again extended his contract by a year in June 2018. [28] He was released at the end of the 2018–19 season. [29] He began working for Rakow as a scout following his release, and though he did register as a player for Escola Varsovia Warsaw, he did not play for the club. [2]

In July 2020 he returned to IV liga Masovia club Podlasie Sokołów Podlaski. [30] [2]
