[edit] Club career

[edit] Zalaegerszeg

Kádár made his debut for Zalaegerszegi TE in 2006.[1] He was offered trials by Premier League clubs Bolton Wanderers and Newcastle United in December 2007.[1][2] He made 14 league appearances, 4 domestic cup appearances and 2 Intertoto Cup appearances for Zalaegerszegi TE.

[edit] Newcastle United

Kádár's transfer was allowed due to Hungary being within the European Union. Normally a player must be 18 years old at minimum, but within the European Union players could be transferred at the age of 16.[3]

Local news reports in Newcastle stated that Kádár had attended a reserve match at Newcastle on 8 January 2008, and would sign for the club in the coming days. Kádár became the 3rd youngster to sign for Newcastle in the January transfer window following the signings of Ben Tozer and Wesley Ngo Baheng. After some hold-ups as a result of Sam Allardyce's sacking, the deal was confirmed on 18 January, the same day that Kevin Keegan was unveiled to the press for his second stint as manager.

During the 2008–09 season, Kádár was mostly plying his trade in the reserves but appeared on the bench as an unused substitute for Newcastle's home league match with Liverpool and the FA Cup 3rd round game with Hull City.

On 21 January 2009 he suffered a broken leg in a reserve match against Sunderland, ruling him out for six months.[4]

On 11 July 2009 he returned to action for Newcastle United, helping in their victory 3–0 over Shamrock Rovers. This was Newcastle's first pre-season match of the 2009–10 season. He made his full first team debut in the 4–3 victory over Huddersfield Town in the Carling Cup in August, before making his league debut on 31 August as part of a 1–0 home win against Leicester City. Although behind Steven Taylor and Fabricio Coloccini in the pecking order, he has turned in some strong performances whenever new manager Chris Hughton played him, especially when Taylor and Coloccini were out injured during various times of the season.[5] In the 2010-2011 season, he was given a chance in the opening rounds of the Carling Cup playing in central defence for their round two clash with minnows Accrington Stanley. Newcastle won 3-2 thanks to goals from Peter Lovenkrands, Shola Ameobi and Ryan Taylor. In the 2011-12 season of the Premier League Kádár became close to the first squad after the injuries of Fabricio Coloccini, Steven Taylor[6][7][8].

[edit] Huddersfield Town (loan)

On 10 January 2011, Kádár signed on loan at Football League One side Huddersfield Town, managed by Lee Clark, who was a coach at Newcastle, when he originally signed for the Magpies.[9][10] He made his debut in the 3-2 win over Plymouth Argyle at the Galpharm Stadium, the following day.[11] Following an injury picked up in the game at Walsall, he returned to Newcastle.

[edit] International career

On 12 May 2008, Kádár received his first call up to the Hungary senior squad, though he did not make an appearance. He was recalled to the U21 side for several 2011 European Championship qualifiers. On 17 November 2011 Kádár played his first match in the national team against Lithuania at the Stadion Sóstói in Székesfehérvár, Hungary. The final result was 2-0 to Hungary. He also played against the 5-0 victory over Liechtenstein at the Puskás Ferenc Stadium in Hungary.
