Personal

First she practiced aerobic, jazz ballet and rope skipping. She caught the fancy of handball around 1995, by watching matches in TV. Started to play in the Balázs Sport School under coach Zoltán Basák. When going to highschool, Szamoránsky have already signed to Győri ETO KC. She came through the ranks quickly, having won the national championship both on youth and junior level and later she became champion with the first team as well. However, in 2005, after Győr player policy slightly favoured the older and more experienced players against youngsters, Szamoránsky decided to leave the club.

Éva Szarka, the coach of Ferencvárosi TC immediately swooped down on the talented line player, who became an integral part of the team, which copped the league title in 2007. After a short spell in Montenegro, she re-signed to to the club in June 2010.

She has a twin sister, Anikó, who is playing at the same club, in the same position as Piroska.

Debuted in the national team on 4 April 2006 against Norway.
