Tamás Priskin (born 27 September 1986 in Komárno, Slovakia) is a footballer currently playing for Watford and Hungarian national team as a striker.
Priskin joined the youth club of Győri ETO FC when he was 15 years old and received 2005 Hungarian citizenship in addition to his Slovak. He made his debut with Győri ETO FC in first Hungarian Leaugue on 23 April 2003 at the age of 16 years and 7 months. He had been linked first with a move to FC Köln as a replacement for Lukas Podolski. On 9 August 2006 he completed a move to Premiership outfit Watford F.C. from Hungarian side Győri ETO FC on a four year deal after impressing during a trial period in which he scored four goals and set up three more. The undisclosed fee, initially said to be around £150k, was said by some sources to be as high as £1m. [1]
Priskin made his debut for Watford on August 19, 2006 against Everton away. During this game he set up the club's first goal of the season as he fed a pass to Damien Francis who scored. His first goal for the club came on October 24 later that year in a League Cup tie against Hull. He scored his first Premiership goal against Wigan Athletic on December 30, 2006 with a header. However unfortunately for Priskin the game was later abandoned due to poor weather conditions.
In a game against Fulham just days after the abandonded game, Priskin was sent off by referee Steve Bennett six minutes into stoppage time for two yellow cards, which of course meant he picked up a red card.
