Tóth began skating in 1988.[2] Early in his career, he was coached by András Száraz.[3] Zsófia Kulcsár became his coach in 1998.[4]
Tóth became Hungary's senior national champion for the first time in the 2000–01 season. He represented Vasas Skating Club in Budapest.[3] The following season, he competed at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, placing 25th. His highest ISU Championship placement, 17th, came at the 2003 Europeans in Malmö, Sweden.
In the 2003–04 season, Tóth began representing Jegcsillag Skating Club in Budapest.[2] He won silver medals at the 2003 Golden Spin of Zagreb and 2003 Crystal Skate of Romania. He placed 25th at both the 2004 European Championships in Budapest and 2004 World Championships in Dortmund.

In October, he competed at the 2005 Karl Schäfer Memorial in Vienna – the final opportunity to qualify for the Olympics – and finished 7th, which would turn out to be sufficient. In February 2006, he competed at the Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. He was one of 24 skaters to qualify for the free skate, having ranked 24th in the short, and finished 24th overall.
