Loans and journeyman On 7 May 2019, Kikas agreed to an extension until 2023 with a buyout clause of €15 million. Late into the January 2020 transfer window, he was loaned to LigaPro side Vilafranquense until 30 June.

Kikas continued to be loaned by the renamed B-SAD in the subsequent seasons, to Doxa Katokopias of the Cypriot First Division, Mafra in the Portuguese second tier and União de Leiria in the third.

Estrela Amadora In January 2023, still owned by B-SAD, Kikas moved to Estrela da Amadora. Having helped them to return to the top flight after a lengthy absence, that summer he joined them on a free transfer and a two-year deal.

Kikas scored the only goal of a 1–0 win over Gil Vicente on the final matchday of 2023–24, to secure Estrela's survival in the main tier. He totalled eight for the campaign.

In 2024–25 and the first half of the following season, Kikas was again his team's top scorer at six goals.

Eupen On 21 January 2026, Kikas joined Belgian Challenger Pro League club Eupen on a contract until June 2028. On 6 March, he scored a hat-trick in the 4–0 victory against Jong KAA Gent.
