Gábor Gyepes (born June 26, 1981 in Budapest) is a Hungarian international footballer, currently playing for English League One side Northampton Town.
[edit] Playing career
Gyepes joined English Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers initially on loan from Ferencváros after impressing during a trial week in July 2005.[1] He made his debut for the club on August 23, 2005 in a 5-1 League Cup rout of Chester City.
He became a regular fixture at centre back during the season, partnering Joleon Lescott, and his move was made permanent when he signed a two-and-a-half year contract in December 2005 for £400,000.[2] This deal later led to an FA charge against Gyepes' agent for improper practice.[3]
However, he ruptured cruciate knee ligaments on March 25, 2006, against Sheffield Wednesday and underwent surgery to repair the injury.[4] This injury ruled him out of the whole of the following season, despite making a reserve appearance in February 2007. After suffering a further setback, it was reported that his contract with Wolves had been terminated by mutual consent in April 2007 so Gyepes could continue his rehabilitation in Hungary.[5]
After regaining full fitness, the defender returned to England and won a contract at Northampton Town in January 2008 that runs until the end of the season.[6]
Gyepes signed a new contract in April 2008 to keep him at the club until the end of the 2008/09 season.
