Career
editNorbert Kaján is a homegrown player of Ferencváros. He joined the club in 2009 at the age of five and progressed through all the youth teams. In the 2022–23 season, he was a key player for the reserve team, and at the end of the season he was given the opportunity to make his first-team debut. Stanislav Cherchesov, then head coach of Ferencváros, brought him on as a substitute in an away defeat against Debrecen. A week later, in the league’s final match, he was in the starting line-up against Mezőkövesd Zsóry.
Following his debut, Kaján was invited to the summer training camp. According to him, Dávid Sigér and Anderson Esiti helped him and his fellow young players integrate the most.[1]
In the 2023–24 season, Kaján was on loan at Soroksár, Ferencváros’ partner team in the second division. Under the terms of his contract, he was able to play both for Soroksár and Ferencváros, which allowed him to make an appearance in a European cup match on 7 November 2024 for Ferencváros, managed by Pascal Jansen, against Dynamo Kyiv.
On 9 May 2026, he won the 2025–26 Magyar Kupa season with Ferencváros by beating Zalaegerszegi TE 1–0 in the 2026 Magyar Kupa final at Puskás Aréna.[2]
