About the player
Zétény Garai spent his early years working through Hungary's youth structure, developing at academies in Győr and Szombathely after starting out at Veszprémi FC USE. That path led him to FC Ajka, where he joined on a free transfer in July 2024 and stayed for a season and a half before completing a move to Zalaegerszegi TE in January 2026, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract that carries an option for a further year.
The switch to Zalaegerszegi TE has brought the defender into a senior squad after a spell that also saw him recognised at international youth level. Garai has been capped six times by Hungary's under-16 side, and he added an under-18 appearance in April 2025, coming off the bench against Switzerland.
At Zalaegerszegi TE, Garai now takes on a new number and a new environment after growing up through smaller provincial clubs. How he adapts to first-team football will be the next test in a career that, so far, has been built step by step through academy football rather than a single breakthrough moment.
