He studied at the Institute of Physical Culture and Sport and graduated in 1968, whilst still playing professional football.

Once turning professional Hyka quickly established himself as a key member of the 17 Nëntori Tirana team, helping them win the Kategoria Superiore four times during his career.

He scored 60 league goals with 17 Nëntori which at the time of his retirement in 1974 made him the club's all-time top goalscorer (5th as of 2012).

[1] Despite a successful club career with 17 Nëntori, Hyka never managed to break through into the Albania national team.

His only senior appearance came on 8 April 1967 against West Germany in Dortmund, a game which Albania lost 6-0 thanks to four goals by Gerd Müller and a double by Hannes Löhr.
