Career
In the 2008–09 season for HK 36 Skalica of the Slovak Extraliga, he created a powerful tandem with Žigmund Pálffy and reached the mark of 75 assists, eclipsing the league record formerly belonging to Pavol Demitra. His team reached the finals for the first time, where it lost to HC Košice.
In the summer of 2010, Mikus was invited to Spartak Moscow's training camp, but he failed to make the team because of the import quota. Instead, in late September he joined Dinamo Riga. On 29 November he was released from Dinamo Riga but, as Martin Cibak and Jaroslav Obsut had been released from Spartak, he rejoined them. He then played a few games for Lev Poprad but finished the rest of the 11-12 season with TPS Turku of the SM-Liga.
In the summer of 2012, he signed with Lev Praha.
