In 1953 Ambrus moved to Ferencvárosi (Budapesti Kinizsi at that time). In 1956 Ambrus left Hungary and emigrated to Australia, as did many other Hungarian athletes, but he returned two years later.

In 1959 Ambrus re-joined Ferencvárosi. In 1961 he competed at the Universiade, winning a bronze medal. In 1962 and 1966 he played at the European Championships, placing first and fifth, respectively. Ambrus was the goalkeeper for the Hungarian Olympic champions at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Between 1955 and 1968 Ambrus earned 55 international caps.

After his sports career, Ambrus worked for the Hungarian Water Polo Association and Ferencvárosi. He also ran a construction materials retail business. In 1996, he became Marketing Director of the Hungarian Olympic Champions Club.
