Máté started his career at his local football club,
Tünet SE . His talents were spotted by the scouts ofDebreceni Focisuli , where he spent the rest of his youth career.He started football at senior level at
Debreceni VSC , where he played two league matches in his first season, and one in his second. In his third season, he played 11 matches scoring one goal. Since he had few opportunities to play at senior level in 2004, he was sent on loan toMiskolc to play forDiósgyőri VTK . There he played 26 matches scoring two goals. This performance was good enough to convince the Debrecen board and coaching staff, so at the end of the season he returned to Debrecen. In the 2005-06 season, he played 25 matches scoring five goals, a good return for a centre back.Máté started the 2006-07 season at Debrecen, but the club received an offer from English Premier League club Reading, and loaned him out on a season-long loan, [cite news | date=
