The Hungarian international has revived his career after a series of sickening injuries but knows that he will have to be at his best to keep out Darren Purse.

Gyepes told the South Wales Echo: "Darren Purse is a quality defender and he'll give it everything to win back his place. That's good for the team and in many ways nothing has changed - it's still Darren, Roger Johnson and I battling for two shirts," .

On the injury that almost ended his career at Wolves, Gyepes added: "It was the 94th minute, we were 3-1 down and I was near the halfway line. It was a nothing challenge and it shouldn't have happened, but it was serious.

"I had suffered knee ligament damage before, in Hungary, but this was different. It was far worse. Almost everything was gone. I was told 'that's it, you won't play again'. Thankfully, I would not accept that."

"I was out for more than a year. Then I was told to retire, that my knee would never be OK. That verdict smashed me. I believe the only person who can decide I will retire is me, nobody else. I am a professional sportsman and that is the worst sentence."
