Early club career

[edit]

Farkas spent three seasons with Nitra and two with Artmedia Petržalka, appearing in 80 league matches.[1] In the summer of 2008, he signed a contract with Romanian Liga I side Vaslui.

On 3 July 2012, Farkaš signed a one-year contract with Chievo Verona, in the Italian Serie A.[2] He went on loan to Serie B club Ternana on 16 July 2013.[3]

Farkaš signed a one-year contract with Azerbaijan Premier League club Gabala on 6 July 2014,[4] leaving the club upon its completion in June 2015.[5]

Greece

[edit]

On 29 July 2015, Farkaš signed a one-year contract with Greek Super League club Xanthi.[6][7][8]

In July 2016, Farkaš signed a one-year contract with Superleague side AE Larossa.[9] He made his official debut for the club on 12 September 2016 in a 2-2 home draw against Iraklis.[10] On 18 March 2017 he scored the only goal in a crucial home win against Panetolikos.[11] He renewed his contract for another year after a decent season with 27 appearances and one goal.[12] On 29 January 2018 he left the club by mutual consent.[13]

International career

[edit]

Farkas debuted for the Slovak senior squad in an infamous goalless friendly draw against Gibraltar in November 2013.[14]

Post-retirement

[edit]

In September 2022, Farkaš joined the arriving staff of Francesco Calzona, who was appointed the manager of Slovakia. Since Calzona nor his staff were fluent in spoken English, Farkaš, an experienced international footballer with knowledge of Italian including footballing terminology, was onboarded as an on-field translator and communications liaison.[15]
