Péter Kurucz (born 30 May 1988) is a Hungarian footballer who plays for Ferencvárosi TC as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Kurucz began his career as a youth team player for Újpest. In February 2008, he played on loan for Tatabánya, making two appearances,[1] before returning to Újpest and signing a contract with them.

On 9 February 2009, he completed a season long loan move with a purchase option to West Ham United.[2] Kurucz made his competitive debut for West Ham in the 2–0 Premier Reserve League South defeat to Aston Villa on 17 March 2009. Kurucz made 5 reserve-team appearances for West Ham in the 2008/09 season.

On 3 June 2009, it was announced that Kurucz had signed a four-year contract with West Ham for an undisclosed fee.[3]

On 5 December 2009, he made his first competitive appearance for West Ham, coming on as a substitute for Robert Green at Upton Park in a 4–0 defeat to Manchester United, although he did not concede any of the goals.[4] In August 2010, during a friendly at Burton Albion, Kurucz picked up an anterior cruciate injury that ruled him out for the 2010-11 season.

In January 2012 Kurucz signed on loan for Rochdale.[5] In May 2012 his contract with West Ham was terminated by mutual consent.[6] He joined Crystal Palace on trial and played in the second half in a preseason friendly match against Lewes conceding once, and the full 90 minutes away at Dulwich Hamlet a few days later, keeping a clean sheet and saving a well struck penalty.

International career

Kurucz was a member of the under-21 national team at international level with Hungary.
