Ákos Sándor Onódi (born 2 September 2001) is a Hungarian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Hungarian club Szeged-Csanád Grosics Akadémia.

Club career

Aston Villa

Onódi made his debut for Aston Villa on 8 January 2021 in a FA Cup match against Liverpool.[3] [4]

On 6 July 2021, Onódi was amongst several Academy players who were given new professional contracts.[5] On 16 July 2021, Onódi joined Southern League Premier Division side Bromsgrove Sporting on a season-long loan.[6] He made his debut for Bromsgrove the following day, in a 1–0 pre-season friendly victory over Romulus.[7] His first competitive appearance for the side was a 4–0 defeat to Leiston on the opening day of the Southern League Premier season.[8]

On 24 May 2022, Onódi announced on his social media that we would be leaving Aston Villa at the end of his current contract on 1 July.[9] This was confirmed by the Premier League on 10 June.[10]

Akritas Chlorakas

On 25 August 2022, Onódi signed for Cypriot First Division club Akritas Chlorakas, revealing that he had turned down interest from clubs in England and Italy due to them wanting him to act as third-choice goalkeeper.[11] Onódi was backup goalkeeper in his first season for Akritas, making no first-team appearances, but appearing on the bench 32 times.[12]

On 1 July 2023, Onódi was released by the club, after their relegation to the second tier.[13]

Szeged

In January 2024, Onódi signed for Hungarian second tier club Szeged-Csanád Grosics Akadémia.[14]

Personal life

Despite news reports suggesting that Ákos is the nephew of Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Henrietta Ónodi, he has confirmed that they are not in fact related.[15] [16]
