On 15 December 2013, Pikk signed a contract extension with Levadia until 2015.[2] He helped the club to their second successive Meistriliiga title in the 2014 season.[3]

BATE Borisov

On 23 February 2016, Pikk signed a three-year contract with Belarusian champions BATE Borisov.[4] He won the 2016 Belarusian Super Cup on his debut for the club.
