After starting his career at Bishop's Stortford, Kitscha joined Conference South side Histon in 2011.[2] Kitscha went onto make over fifty appearances for Histon, before leaving to join Hayes & Yeading United for the 2014–15 campaign. On 9 August 2014, Kitscha made his Hayes & Yeading United debut in their 1–0 away victory against St Albans City.[3] Kitscha went onto make twenty more appearances for Hayes & Yeading that season, operating as a back-up to Grant Smith for the remainder of the campaign.

On 9 July 2015, preceding his release from Hayes & Yeading, Kitscha joined National League side Cheltenham Town on a one-year deal.[4] On 12 December 2015, Kitscha made his Cheltenham Town debut in their FA Trophy tie against Chelmsford City, which resulted in a 3–1 victory.[5] On 30 August 2016, after signing a new one-year deal in June 2016, Kitscha made his Football League debut during an EFL Trophy tie against Blackpool, with the fixture resulting in a 2–1 defeat for the Robins.[6] On 9 May 2017, it was announced that Kitscha would leave Cheltenham upon the expiry of his contract in June 2017.[7]

On 10 November 2017, Kitscha joined National League South side Welling United, following his release from Cheltenham in June.[8] In February 2018, he then joined Bishop's Stortford FC.[9] He played 13 games for the club, before he joined Hoddesdon Town.
