Born in Wellington, Supyk began his career in the academies of Waimakariri United and Nomads United before joining Wellington Phoenix in 2021.[2] Having progressed through the academy, he was added to the club's reserve side, playing in the Central League, where he impressed with his goal-scoring prowess.[2]
He made his professional debut for the first team in the 3–0 Australia Cup round-of-32 loss against Melbourne City on 27 August 2023, coming on as a late substitute for Kosta Barbarouses.[2] On his return from a training camp with the New Zealand under-17 squad in Japan, Supyk was officially announced as the first-team's nineteenth signing.[2][3]

Supyk was called up to the New Zealand under-17 squad for the 2023 OFC U-17 Championship, where he finished joint-top scorer alongside Tahitian Titouan Guillemant, helping New Zealand to the title.[2][4][5] The competition served as qualification for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup, and Supyk was again called up to represent the nation in the tournament.[citation needed]
