Mogoy was born in Igal, Hungary. He played three seasons for Czechoslovakian club ŠK Slovan Bratislava and one season each for Italian club Catania and Spanisch club RCD Mallorca before he moved to Switzerland. Here he first played one season for Grasshopper Club Zürich.

Mogoy joined FC Basel's first team for their 1952–53 season under player-coach René Bader. After playing in five test matches, Mogoy played his domestic league debut for his new club in the away game on 31 August 1952 as Basel played a 2–2 draw with BSC Young Boys.[1] He scored his first goal for his club per penalty on 19 April 1953 in the home game at the Landhof against Lausanne-Sport.[2] Mogoy's biggest success was the championship title that season. Basel won 17 of the 26 league games, losing only once, and they won the championship four points clear of Young Boys in second position.[3]
