[edit] Career
Bori was given a trial by Leicester City manager Ian Holloway on 17th December 2007,[1] and he signed a loan deal on 8th January 2008 until the end of the season, linking up with fellow Hungarian Zsolt Laczko, who arrived four days earlier.[2] One of his reasons for joining Leicester was Hungarian goalkeeper Márton Fülöp, who, before leaving the club, helped him "a lot" during his trial period.[3]
Both players were desperate to earn permanent deals to stay at the club.[4] Bori made his league debut in an M69 Derby on January 12, making four crosses and five shots as Leicester won 2-0.[5] Bori never made another first team appearance after February 12, and with Leicester relegated to League One, manager Ian Holloway decided not to take up the option of signing him on a permanent basis.
[edit] International
Bori made his debut against Antigua and Barbuda on 18 December 2005.
