Slivka signed for Italian club Juventus in 2014. He was loaned to Modena, Gorica, Den Bosch and Ascoli over the next three seasons.[1]
He left Juventus in July 2017, signing a three-year contract with Hibernian.[2][3] He scored his first goal for Hibernian on 12 August, in a 3–2 win against Rangers.[4] Slivka missed over two months of the 2017–18 season due to a hamstring injury.[5] In his first appearance after the injury, Slivka scored the second goal for Hibs in a 2–1 win against Celtic.[5] During the following season Slivka maintained an unusual streak of only scoring goals for Hibs against either half of the Old Firm, scoring in the first minute of a 2–0 win at home to Celtic.[6] Slivka was one of three first team players released by Hibs at the end of the 2019–20 season.[7]
On 31 August 2020, Slivka signed for Super League Greece club Apollon Smyrnis.[8]
On 5 June 2015, Slivka made his debut for Lithuania in a friendly match against Hungary.[9] During 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification, Slivka scored goals against Slovenia and Malta.
