Ádám Gergely Kovácsik (pronounced [ˈaːdaːm ˈkovaːt͡ʃik]; born 4 April 1991[2]) is a Hungarian footballer who plays for Mezőkövesd as a goalkeeper.[3]

Club career

[edit]

Kovácsik began his career as a youth player by Budapest Honvéd FC. He played first as a field player, however, yet at the age of seven stood between the sticks. In 2002, he moved to city rivals Ferencvárosi TC. In his second year by Ferencváros, Kovácsik won the Christmas Cup ahead of the youth sides of A.C. Milan and FC Barcelona. In 2006, he was member of the team that won the European final of the Nike Premier Cup, one of the most prestigious tournaments in the younger age categories. For his performances in that year, he was handed the Tibor Simon Award (Simon Tibor-díj), a prize named after former loyal Ferencváros defender Tibor Simon, which is given to individual who showed the most spirited display throughout the season.[4]

In the following year Kovácsik signed to Reggina Calcio. Although he made his senior debut for the Southern Italian side on 30 May 2010 against U.C. AlbinoLeffe as a late substitute, Kovácsik remained only a reserve player until the departure of first choice keeper Christian Puggioni in the summer of 2011. Starting from the 2011–12 season Kovácsik got more playing minutes and produced some excellent performances, including saving two penalties in a 3–0 win over Brescia in October 2011.[5]

In the 2012 winter transfer window, Reggina loaned him to Italian third-division-side Foligno.

In the next season, he was loaned to third-division-side team Pavia.

On 13 July 2013, it was officially announced that Kovácsik would play the season with Serie B side Carpi. He made his debut in Coppa Italia against his mother-club Reggina, at a 1-0 away loss. He played his first match in his new club, in the Serie B, against Ternana.

In the summer 2014, Kovacsik was back to Reggina on Lega Pro.

On 15 July 2022, Kovácsik was loaned to Győr.[6]

On 23 July 2023, Kovácsik joined Mezőkövesd.[7]

International career

[edit]

Kovácsik represented Hungary since his earliest time as a player. His best result on the international stage came at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup, where he earned the bronze medal.

Personal life

[edit]

Kovácsik's rolemodel is Gianluigi Buffon. In a statement with his new club Mezőkövesd, he told that his way of playstyle is similar to Buffon.

In the same statement, he told that he is married, has a 5½-year-old child and a child who is expecting.[8]
