† Appearances (goals)

Krisztián Vadócz (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈkɾistiaːn ˈvɒdoːt͡s]; born 30 May 1985) is an Hungarian professional footballer who plays for Australian club Perth Glory FC as a central midfielder.

Club career

Early years

Born in Budapest, Vadócz made his professional debuts aged 17, with hometown's Budapest Honvéd FC, and caught the eye of Ligue 1 club AJ Auxerre in the 2005 summer. However, he managed no first-team appearances in a three-year spell, finishing his last on loan to Motherwell in Scotland.[1]

In June 2007 Vadócz was finally released by the French, joining NEC Nijmegen. During his only season in the Eredivisie, he was an essential midfield element for a team that finished a comfortable eighth.

Osasuna

Subsequently, Vadócz penned a four-year contract with CA Osasuna.[2] Never an undisputed starter in his first season in La Liga he did score some important goals, against UD Almería (3–1, after only playing one minute)[3] and at Atlético Madrid (4–2).[4]

In the 2009–10 campaign Vadócz appeared in exactly the same number of matches for the Navarrese, again mainly from the bench. On 11 April 2010, he netted from 35 yards to help his team to a 2–0 home win against Real Zaragoza.[5]

Late career

Vadócz was released by Osasuna in the last day of the 2011 summer transfer window, immediately signing with former side NEC. On 6 September 2012 he changed clubs and countries again, joining Odense Boldklub in the Danish Superliga.[6]

On 14 November 2014 Vadócz moved to the Indian Super League with FC Pune City, as an injury replacement to John Goossens.[7][8] On 16 February of the following year, he was signed by Grasshopper Club Zürich from the Swiss Super League.[9][10]

On 3 April 2015 Vadócz scored twice against FC Sion, helping to a 5–0 success at the Stade Tourbillon.[11] On 19 September he moved back to Spain, after agreeing to a one-year deal with Deportivo Alavés.[12]

On 28 January 2016, after appearing rarely for the Basques, Vadócz terminated his contract and moved to Perth Glory FC.[13]

International career

Vadócz made his debut for both Hungary's under-21 and the full side in 2004. He scored his first goal for the latter a year later, in a 3–2 friendly win over Antigua and Barbuda in Miami, Florida.
