A Profile of Janos Kovacs

Below is a profile, mainly sourced from Wikipedia, of defender Janos Kovacs, who signed a two year deal with Hereford United earlier today.

Born in Budapest, Hungary on Sepetember 11th 1985, Janos Kovács joined Chesterfield from MTK Hungária on a two-year contract in August 2005 after receiving international clearance following a trial with the club.

Bar for a short loan spell with York City in Spring 2007, Kovacs spent three seasons with Chesterfield making 55 league appearances including 41 in the 2007/08 season.

Two of those appearances were against Hereford United. The first at Chesterfield on January 21st 2008. That game which the Bulls lost 4-0 was shown on Sky. The second was at Edgar Street on February 16th 2008 when the Bulls won 2-0. Late that season Kovacs was voted second in the Chesterfield player of the year award.

He was offered a new contract but decided to move to Lincoln in June 2008 for a fee of £17,500 which was fixed by a tribunal. He went on to make 66 appearances for the Imps before being placed on the transfer list last January.

On 26 January 2010 Kovács' contract with Lincoln was cancelled by mutual consent, and he subsequently signed for Conference National side Luton Town on a five-month contract. Luton fought off competition from Southend United and Barnet, as well as Hungarian side Ferencváros to secure Kovács' signature.

Kovács made 17 appearances during his time at Luton. However after his contract expired earlier this month, he signed for Hereford United on a free transfer.
