Club career

Sluka made his professional Slovak Super Liga debut for Žilina against Nitra on 28 July 2018. Sluka had replaced Jaroslav Mihalík three minutes before the stoppage time. Žilina had won 2-1. [2]

In September 2023, Sluka returned to Slovakia with ViOn Zlaté Moravce on a one-year deal. [3]

International career

Sluka was first recognised in a senior national team nomination on 28 May 2019, when coach Pavel Hapal named him as an alternate defender for a double fixture in June - a home friendly against Jordan, to which 29 players were unusually called-up and a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying fixture against Azerbaijan, played away on 11 June 2019. [4] He also featured as an alternate under Hapal's successor Štefan Tarkovič, for example ahead of two international friendly fixtures against Norway and Finland in March 2022. [5] In December 2022, Sluka was first shortlisted in the nomination by Francesco Calzona, who joined the team in late summer, for senior national team prospective players' training camp at NTC Senec.
