Career
editHarsányi started his professional career at his hometown club Nyíregyházi KC, before moving to PLER KC. He spent a decade with the Pestszentlőrinc-based team and captured a Hungarian Cup bronze in 2007. In the 2007–2008 season, he played handball in the German Bundesliga, Frisch Auf Göppingen, and then returned to PLER KC after 1 season. He signed to Ferencvárosi TC in the summer of 2009, however, after financial difficulties with the club were revealed, Harsányi was transferred to Tatabánya-Carbonex KC in the winter break to ease the growing troubles at the club.[2] He retired from professional handball in 2018.
His first major international tournament was the 2004 Summer Olympics, where the Hungarian team placed fourth.[3] He participated on two European Championship (2006, 2012), four World Championships (2009, 2011, 2013, 2017) and two Olympics (2004 and 2012).[4]
