Career

Gyollai was born in Békéscsaba and started his youth career at hometown club Békéscsaba 1912 Előre in 2005.[4] He left the club in 2011 to join the youth academy of Nemzeti Bajnokság I club Budapest Honvéd.[5]

In 2013, he graduated from the Hungarian Football Academy and signed for English Premier League club Stoke City.[5][6] Originally placed into the under-18 squad, Gyollai was moved to the under-21 squad in 2015 and was a regular name on the teamsheet in Premier League 2 and EFL Trophy matches.[6]

After various senior games as an unused substitute for Stoke, in 2016, Gyollai joined Nantwich Town on loan. He went on to make 8 league appearances for the club.[7] Impressing on his loan spell, in 2017, Gyollai re-joined The Dabbers once again on loan.[8]

At the end of the 2018–19 season, Gyollai was released by Stoke City and on 1 August 2019 joined Championship side Wigan Athletic, penning a one-year deal.[2]

On 30 July 2020, Gyollai signed for League One club Peterborough United on a two-year deal.[9] He made his debut for the club on 8 September 2020, starting in a 3–3 draw at home to Burton Albion in the EFL Trophy, which The Posh won 5–4 on penalties.[10]

On 11 May 2021, he was made available for transfer by Peterborough.[11] He moved on loan to Maidenhead United in December 2021.[12] After two league appearances,[3] the transfer was made permanent in January 2022.[13] He won the Supporters' Player of the Season award for the 2021–22 season.[14] In the 2022–23 season Gyollai sustained anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament injuries in February 2023, which kept him out for the rest of the campaign. He was released in June 2023.[15]
