Belezika was awarded his first professional contract, signing a one-year contract with Oldham Athletic.[4] The day after signing his first professional contract he made his first appearance for the club, coming on as a late substitute in the 3–0 loss against Sheffield Wednesday in a Football League match on 9 April 2012.[5]

On 23 August 2013, Belezika joined Conference Premier club Salisbury City on a one-month loan deal.[6] He made his debut for the club a day later as his side beat Aldershot Town 1–0.[7] He made a total of five appearances before returning to Oldham.[8]
