Zsolt Nagy (born 25 May 1993) is a Hungarian professional footballer who plays for Puskás Akadémia FC.

Club career[edit]

He started his career in Felcsút FC and then in 2011 he was signed by the partner team of Felcsút, Videoton FC. However, he could not earn any appearances during his two year at Videoton. Therefore, he was loaned to Nemzeti Bajnokság II club Puskás Akadémia FC of Felcsút, where he could play 8 matches in the 2012–13 Nemzeti Bajnokság II season. His short spell convinced the owner of the club and he was purchased in 2013.

In the 2017–18 season he was loaned to Csákvári TK.

On 8 December 2023, he scored twice against in a 3-0 victory over Kecskemét the 2023–24 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season at Pancho Aréna.[2]
