Having begun his career playing for Pontypool schools and Pontypool United RFC, Babos made his debut for the Dragons regional team in 2017.[1] With his appearance he became the first player born in the 21st century to appear in the Pro14 competition.[2] His half-back partner that day, former Wales international Gavin Henson, had made his own professional debut in 2001 when Babos was just six months old.[3]

He has also represented Wales under-20.[4]

In 2022, Babos joined Coventry R.F.C. on loan.[5]

Babos was released by the Dragons at the end of the 2021–2022 season, and joined Pontypool RFC.[6] [7]
