Cisak is a product of the Leicester City Youth Academy, where he played alongside the likes of Joe Mattock, Andy King, Max Gradel, Ashley Chambers, Eric Odhiambo and fellow keeper Carl Pentney, where he was a key member of the side that won the 2006–07 Premier Academy League winning side.
Cisak signed his first professional contract on May 5, 2007, signing a one year deal alongside Andy King, Max Gradel, Carl Pentney and Eric Odhiambo.[2] He joined Oxford United on 25 September 2007, as a replacement to Chris Tardif.[3][4] However on 22 October he returned to Leicester having failed to make a 1st team appearance for Oxford.[5]
On January 10, 2008 he moved on loan again joining Tamworth on loan until the end of the season.[6]

On June 8, 2009 Cisak signed a six-month contract extension at Leicester keeping him at the club until December 2009.[8]
He joined Accrington Stanley in July 2010 after being released by Leicester at the end of the 2009/10 season. He made his debut for the club in a Carling Cup match on 10 August 2010 against Doncaster Rovers.[9]
