Balázs Attila Megyeri (born 31 March 1990) is a Hungarian footballer who plays for Spanish club Getafe CF as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Ferencváros

Born in Budapest, Megyeri began his career with Ferencvárosi TC and played a short time on youthside for Bristol City, before returning to his previous club in 2008.[2] On 23 August 2009, he began a short trial with Hertha BSC Berlin,[3] but nothing came of it.

Megyeri made his Nemzeti Bajnokság I debut on 26 August, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Szombathelyi Haladás. He appeared in 24 league matches during the campaign, with his side finishing seventh.

Olympiacos

On 15 June 2010, Megyeri signed a three-year contract with Olympiacos.[4][5] He took part in the international match "8th Match Against Poverty" on 14 December at the Karaiskakis Stadium, as the club's All Star team goalkeeper.

Megyeri made his debut for the club on 3 April 2011, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–1 home win against Kavala. He appeared in only three matches during the campaign, being a third-choice behind Antonis Nikopolidis and Urko Pardo.

After Nikopolidis' retirement and Pardo's departure to APOEL, Megyeri was challenged by new signings Franco Costanzo and Iosif Daskalakis. After Constanzo's poor performances, he was elected as first-choice; despite the arrival of Roy Carroll in January 2012, he continued to appear regularly, contributing with 22 matches.

Megyeri battled for the starting spot with Carroll in 2012–13, but was later overtaken by new signing Roberto in the following season.

Getafe

On 15 July 2015 Megyeri signed a three-year deal with La Liga side Getafe CF, after his contract with Olympiacos expired.[6]
