Early career

[edit]

Tóth first played under the youth setup at Kazincbarcikai SC, receiving a contract after scoring 11 goals in a school match in Zubogy. He was initially a striker, but switched to playing as a goalkeeper after standing in during a training session and impressing coach István Szabó.[1]

At 12 years old, Tóth signed for Puskás Akadémia FC.[1] In 2012, Tóth joined the Fehérvár FC under-17 team, before returning to Puskás Akadémia a year later.[2]

Puskás Akadémia

[edit]

In the 2015–16 season, Tóth won the Hungarian U19 league.[3] He was an unused substitute in two home games the 2016–17 season against Szolnoki MÁV FC and SZEOL SC, with Puskás Akadémia winning the Nemzeti Bajnokság II.

2018–19: Loan to Aqvital FC Csákvár

In 2018, Tóth moved to Nemzeti Bajnokság II team Aqvital FC Csákvár on loan.[4] He made his competitive debut in a 3–3 home draw against Ceglédi VSE,[5] Tóth kept his first clean sheet in a 0–0 home draw against Budafoki MTE.[6] He would go on to make 25 league appearances over the course of the season as Ceglédi finished 11th.

Return to Puskás Akadémia

[edit]

On 30 November 2019, Tóth signed a two and a half year contract.[7] He made his Nemzeti Bajnokság I debut on 14 March 2020 against Mezőkövesdi SE, keeping a clean sheet after being substituted on in the 40th minute for an injured Lajos Hegedűs.[8] Once the league resumed after it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tóth established himself as the first choice goalkeeper for the club.

During the 2020–21 season, Tóth played 30 league games and kept 12 clean sheets as Puskás Akadémia finished runners up in the league.[9] Tóth received the "Save of the Month" award in September[10] and February,[11] along with the "Goalkeeper of the Season" award.[12]

In July 2021, Tóth made his UEFA Conference League debut in a 1–1 away draw against FC Inter Turku in the First Qualifying Round.[13] On 15 July 2021, Tóth suffered a shoulder injury in the 89th minute of the 1–0 away win against MTK Budapest FC.[14] This injury would keep him out until his return on 5 March 2022, in a 2–1 away defeat to Újpest FC[15] Tóth played 17 matches and kept 7 clean sheets during the 2021–22 season. On 1 April 2022, Tóth signed a new contract until 2026.[16] In the 2022–23 season, Tóth kept three clean sheets in 20 league appearances.[9]
