Career

=Club=

Tomori started to play handball at the age of 12 and signed her first professional contract with Vasas SC in 2004. Considered one of the best players of her position in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I, she moved to league champions Győri ETO KC in 2007. After spent two successful seasons at the club, winning the league and finishing runner-up in the Champions League, in March 2010 dressing room troubles were revealed. As a result, first the Hungarian international was exiled to the reserve team, and after the sides could not find an appropriate solution, she left the club by mutual agreement.{{Cite news|title=Az ETO közös megegyezéssel szerződést bontott Tomori Zsuzsannával |url=http://www.gyorietokc.hu/audi-eto-kc/az-eto-kozos-megegyezessel-szerzodest-bontott-tomori-zsuzsannaval/2903/ |publisher=Győri Audi ETO KC Official Site |date=24 March 2010 |access-date=1 February 2011|language=hu}}

In March 2019 she decided not to extend her contract with Győr and signed a deal with Siófok. About her decision, she said: "Győr wanted to keep me, but they offered only a one-year contract, meanwhile Siófok gave me a 3-year offer, and this was decisive at the end because my goal is to have a secure and stable future."{{cite web|url=http://timeoutmag.com/2019/03/21/pena-szikora-tomori-the-new-signings-in-siofok/ |title=Pena, Szikora, Tomori- the new signings in Siófok |publisher=timeoutmag.com |author=SZEKERES, Ibolya |date=21 March 2019}}
