According to the agreement between MOL Fehérvár FC and Újpest FC on Tuesday, Áron Csongvai will continue his career with our club.

The 22-year-old Csongvai, who can play as a defender and midfielder, was born on the 31st October 2000 in Budapest. He was raised in the youth team of Vasas between 2010 and 2016, before being signed by Újpest, where he first played for the U17 and U19 teams, then for Újpest II.

The 186 centimetre tall player appeared in ten league games in his first NB I season, and in the next two and a half years he was clearly a key player for the Budapest team, where he has played in 87 NB I games, scoring five goals and assisting five times. At the end of the 2020/2021 season, he celebrated a MOL Hungarian Cup victory with his team. In the summer of 2021, he made his international debut in the Europa Conference League qualifying round, where he played in three matches. In September 2021, he made his debut for the Hungarian U21 national team, where he played in eight matches. In the 2022/2023 season, he was the captain of the Újpest team.

"I could feel that Vidi really wanted me, which gave me confidence and a positive feeling. This transfer is definitely a step forward for my career and my development. I come with big ambitions, the structure and conditions of the club are maximally given to achieve my goals. We need to put in the hard work, focus on ourselves and then we will prove that Vidi is capable of much more than where it is in the table. I have high expectations for myself, I want to get as many playing opportunities as possible and to perform well, also in order to be invited back to the national team" - Áron Csongvai told our website.

"We definitely wanted to strengthen the squad with young Hungarian players, and Áron Csongvai has already made the Hungarian national team, and he has already played games in the top division. I expect that with the arrival of Áron, our defence will be more stable, but he can also be deployed in midfield, which means that the coaching staff will have more options" said sporting director Roland Juhász.

Áron Csongvai signed a three-year contract with our team and will play in the red-blue 14 shirt.
