Zoltán Bognár (born 9 February 1988) is a professional Slovak footballer of Hungarian ethnicity who currently plays for Slovak club SK Vydrany.

Personal life

Bognár was born with a Hungarian name but has Eastern Slovak roots, as his mother came from Svidník.[1] Before joining Tatran, he studied at the University of Economics in Bratislava.[2]

Club career

Dunajska Streda

In September 2008, Bognár signed a contract with Dunajská Streda, but the club allegedly had the player's contract registered with the Slovak Football Association in violation of applicable standards. However, the latter legalized it nevertheless, and did not recognize the first Prešov contract.[3] Following the decision, he would have to remain with the club for more than half a year.[4] Bognár scored a hat-trick for DAC in a 3–2 league win against FC Petržalka.[5] It was the first time that a player for DAC scored a hat-trick since 1999.[6][7]

Tatran Prešov

Before the spring part of the 2009/2010 season, Bogár joined 1. FC Tatran Prešov, signing a 3 year contract.[8][9][10] He joined Tatran for a fee of around 33,193 euros.[11] Bogár scored his first goal for the green and whites in a friendly match against MFK Ružomberok B, scoring a header after a cross from Ľuboš Belejík.[12] In the winter of 2011, he joined SFM Senec on a half year loan.[13][14]

International career

In 2010, Bogár was part of the wider nomination for the Slovakia national under-21 football team.[15]
