He started his career in 1987 in Politehnica Timișoara, where he spent most of his career.[1] Soon he began to show himself as a very strong offensive midfielder. After becoming an international player, he was brought in 1992 by the 1991 European Champions Red Star Belgrade from Yugoslavia. In 1993, he returned to Timișoara where he continued playing until January 1995, when he moved to Hungary to play with Békéscsaba Elöre, where he played until January 1996.[2] Since then, he has been the pillar of the Politehnica Timișoara team, having, in total, played an impressive 288 games, and scored 29 goals.[3]

After becoming an important Politehnica player, in the years of 1991 and 1992, he got four caps for the Romania national football team.[4][5] His debut was on 17 April 1991 under coach Mircea Rădulescu against Spain when he came as a substitute and replaced Gheorghe Hagi in the 61st minute in a friendly which ended with a 2–0 victory against Spain.[4][6]
