Career

Ancsin made his senior debut in the Hungarian top division for Dunaferr SE in 2007. His talent was spotted soon and teams from Spain and Germany showed interesting in signing him. Finally, he chose Rhein-Neckar Löwen and moved to the Mannheim-based team in 2009.[3]

Gábor was sent immediately on loan to second division side TSG Friesenheim by his club, with them he celebrated promotion to Handball-Bundesliga at the end of the season. The right back spent the next season by Frisenheim as well, however, the team did not manage to maintain its top division membership. In May 2011 the officials of Löwen and SC Pick Szeged announced that Ancsin joins the Hungarians on a two-year deal, during which period the German team have buy-out option.[4]

"Ancsin is a great talent. If he takes the next evolutionary step in the next two years, he could be a candidate for the Lions. We will be watching him very closely" – Löwen manager Thorsten Storm commented the move.[4]
