General Interest

General
PRO RECCO MOVE
In June 2020 he moved from Hungarian club Ferencvaros to Italian club Pro Recco. "I played for a total of three Hungarian teams for nine seasons. My Hungarian wife, Anna, and I felt it was time for a change. We made this decision, although I had a great time in Hungary. Throughout my career, I have reached a period when change; new circumstances can give new impetus. Besides, it is a long-term commitment, as Pro Recco has offered a two plus one year contract, which means enough security in today's world, when the situation of the sport may change due to many external factors. The compulsion to perform, the pressure that I will obviously feel, also motivates me, because if there is a team in the world that is expected to have an eternal victory, it is Pro Recco that wins everything where it starts." (total-waterpolo.com, 08 Jun 2020)

OTHER STUDIES
He has studied for a master's in business administration at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, NSW, Australia. (LinkedIn profile, 01 Jun 2018)

COMMISSION MEMBER
In 2016 he was elected as a commissioner on Water Polo Australia's [WPA] Athletes' Commission. (waterpoloaustralia.com.au, 18 Jun 2019)
