Roland Juhász (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈrolɒnd ˈjuhaːs]; born 1 July 1983) is a Hungarian footballer who plays as a defender for Videoton.
Juhász spent his youth career in Tápiószecső playing for the local club Tápiószecső FC. However, he started his professional career at the MTK Budapest FC in 1999. Playing 107 Hungarian League matches and scoring 12 goals convinced the Hungary national football team coach to list him in the squad. Juhasz became Hungarian League champion in the 2002–03 season with MTK Budapest. Moreover, at the end of the 2004–05 season of the Hungarian League, the Belgian giant club RSC Anderlecht signed him.
Anderlecht signed Roland Juhász on 29 August 2005. He made his debut for Anderlecht against Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League. On 19 September 2005 Juhasz fractured a bone in his foot which meant that Anderlecht were deprived of the services of the Hungarian defender for several weeks. He became Belgian Pro League champion four times with the club in the 2005–06, 2006–07, 2009–10, 2011–12 seasons. Juhasz was voted as the Best Defender of the Belgian First Division in 2009. In the same year, Juhasz was voted as the Player of the Year for 2009 by the Hungarian Football Federation, while Péter Kabát was named as the best Hungarian League player. In 2011 Juhász was voted as the Best Hungarian Football Player of the Year for 2011.
