[edit] Biography

Halmosi is a Hungarian International player, having won more than 15 caps for his country, and playing alongside former team-mates Krisztian Timar and Ákos Buzsáky in the national side.

His previous clubs include Haladás Szombathely, Grazer AK, Debreceni VSC and Plymouth Argyle.

Peter has grown up in a family that has a significant sporting background, his father Zoltan Halmosi has got 11 caps playing football for Hungary and his mother also was involved in a professional sports activity and represented Hungary as an athlete at several international events. Peter played his first game for his hometown club Szombathelyi Haladas at the age of 18 and stayed at the club until he was 23. In 2002 he joined Austrian side Grazer AK and made only 8 appearances for the club. After playing several games for the reserves he left Austria and signed for Debreceni VSC in Hungary. His move to Debrecen turned out to be a successful stay and he spent 4 years with the red and whites. Halmosi initially joined Argyle on loan from Debreceni VSC until the end of the 2006–07 season, with a view to a permanent move at the end of the season ^[1][2]. A £400,000 permanent deal with Argyle was completed on 16 May 2007 ^[3] making him the record signing for the club at that time. He had been linked with moves to other clubs in the United Kingdom including Celtic ^[4] and Blackburn Rovers ^[5]. Halmosi made his Argyle debut in a 3–1 away win against Norwich City on 13 January 2007.

On 15 July 2008 Halmosi was spotted at Hull City's pre-season friendly against North Ferriby United. On 16 July, Halmosi signed a 4 year contract with Hull City for a fee in excess of £2 million, becoming, at the time, their record signing and their 6th of the summer.^[6]

Halmosi made his Hull City debut in the friendly match against Chesterfield on 22 July 2008 at Saltergate.
