[edit] Club career

Liverpool signed Gulácsi from MTK Hungária for a one year loan in 2007, with the player competing in the treble winning reserve team. Liverpool had an option to buy him at the end of this loan deal, which they exercised on the last day of the transfer window, September 1, 2008.

"I am very proud to have signed for Liverpool. It's a dream for me to be working at such a great club, with expert trainers and alongside one of the best goalkeepers in the world in Jose Reina. After spending one year on loan I had no hesitation in agreeing to sign a permanent contract. To have signed for Liverpool is an unbelievable feeling."^[2]

In the 2009 January transfer window, he was loaned to Hereford United, where he made his league debut.

[edit] International career

In May 2008 he received his first call up for Hungary and was an unused substitute in their 1-1 draw with Croatia.

In the third place match between Hungary and Costa Rica at 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup, he saved three penalties during penalty shoot-out leading his team to victory and bronze medals.
