Club career
editIn April 2021, Schön signed with FC Dallas.[6] He returned to Hungary on 26 August 2022, signing with Fehérvár.[7]
Bolton Wanderers
editOn 2 August 2024 he signed a three year deal with EFL League One club Bolton Wanderers for an undisclosed fee.[8][9]
On 5 October 2024, Schön scored his first goal for Bolton when netting the equaliser against Shrewsbury Town in a 2-2 draw at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.[10]
Győri ETO FC (loan)
editOn 1 September 2025, Bolton confirmed that Schön had joined Hungarian side Győr on a season long loan.[11] Szabolcs Schön returned to the NB I last September after Bolton Wanderers—a team that had seen better days and was then playing in England’s third division—loaned him to ETO FC Győr for the season. It took him a few months to settle in, but as soon as he became a regular starter and Balázs Borbély relied on him exclusively as a left winger (he had previously played left back and right winger on several occasions), he regained his national team form.
Győri ETO FC
editOn 26 May 2026, ETO FC Győr announced on their official website that they had exercised the purchase option included in the contract of Szabolcs Schön—who has been playing on loan with the team since last September—and had permanently acquired the 25-year-old player from Bolton Wanderers.[12]
International career
editOn 1 June 2021, Schön was included in the final 26-man squad to represent Hungary at the rescheduled UEFA Euro 2020 tournament. He took part in two of three group stage matches for Hungary at Euro 2020 where Hungary nearly pulled off the impossible in escaping the group of death with France, Germany, and Portugal.[13]
He made his debut for Hungary national team on 8 June 2021 in a friendly against Ireland. He substituted Ádám Szalai in the 88th minute of a 0–0 draw.[14]
In March 2026, after a long pause, he was called up for the national team against Slovenia and Greece.[15]
On 28 March 2026, he scored his first goal in the national team in a 1–0 victory over Slovenia in a friendly match at Puskás Aréna.[16]
