Career
Tóth joined Újpest FC's youth team at the age of 15 years-old, but did not progress beyond their U21 team, and was transferred to city rivals Honvéd in 2015. He was loaned to Vác FC and BFC Siófok, before he joined Monori SE in 2018 as a free agent.[2]

He then moved to Nyíregyháza Spartacus FC, where his career took off. In the winter of 2020, Szombathelyi Haladás signed him, from there he moved to FC Ajka, and then played his part in the historic promotion of Kecskeméti TE, contributing to the promotion with ten goals, which won the silver medal as a rookie in the NBII. He made his debut in the NBI with the club, at the age of 27 years-old.[2][3] He scored six goals in his first season as a Kecskemét player in the NB I.[4]
