Club career

He started his career in Felcsút FC and then in 2011 he was signed by the partner team of Felcsút, Videoton FC. However, he could not earn any appearances during his two year at Videoton. Therefore, he was loaned to Nemzeti Bajnokság II club Puskás Akadémia FC of Felcsút, where he could play 8 matches in the 2012–13 Nemzeti Bajnokság II season. His short spell convinced the owner of the club and he was purchased in 2013.

He debuted in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I in 2013, when Puskás Akadémia was promoted to the first division.

In the 2017–18 season he was loaned to Csákvári TK.

Since Zsolt Hornyák's appointment as the manager of Puskás Akadémia, he has become a stable member of the squad earning 25, 27, and 28 caps in the 2019–20, 2020–21, and 2021–22 seasons, respectively.

International career

He made his debut for Hungary national football team on 15 November 2019 in a friendly against Uruguay. He substituted Mihály Korhut in the 75th minute.[2]

On 11 June 2022, he scored his first goal against Germany in the 2022–23 UEFA Nations League A match at the Puskás Aréna. The match ended with a 1–1 draw.[3]
