Cywka has played internationally for Poland at under-19, under-20, and twice at under-21 level.
Born in Gliwice, Silesian Voivodeship, Cywka was part of the winning U-19 Gwarek Zabrze team which captured the 2006 Polish U-19 Championship.
Following a successful week-long trial at Wigan Athletic, Cywka signed a three-year contract in July 2006 transferring him from Gwarek Zabrze to the Premier League side. He made his first appearance in September 2006 as a substitute against Crewe Alexandra in the League Cup.
In October 2006 he moved on loan to League One side Oldham Athletic where he made four substitute appearances.
He made his second appearance for Wigan in an FA Cup match against Tottenham in January 2009, coming on as a substitute in the 74th minute. In February 2009 Steve Bruce suggested that Cywka was on the verge of breaking into the first team, however, the following month Cywka suffered torn knee ligaments which would see him out until the following season.
