Ionuț Casian Rus (born 20 January 2000) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Liga II club Bihor Oradea.

Club career

[edit]

Ionuț Rus started his career at LPS Banatul Timișoara, the club of the Sports High School from his hometown. On 30 January 2016 he signed a 3-year contract with Italian side S.S. Lazio.[1] In the three years spent in Rome the young goalkeeper from Timișoara played 24 matches.[2]

CFR Cluj

[edit]

On 6 January 2019 Rus signed his first professional contract with the defending champion of Romania, CFR Cluj. He will be under contract with "the railwaymen" until January 2024.[2]

Luceafărul Oradea

[edit]

On 13 February 2019 CFR Cluj decided to give him the chance to play constantly, loaning him to the second league side CS Luceafărul Oradea.[3][4] This decision was made due to the tough competition that was on this position in CFR's squad, where the first two choices as a goalkeeper were Giedrius Arlauskis and Jesús Fernández.

Turris Turnu Măgurele

[edit]

On 9 July 2019 Rus was loaned by CFR Cluj to Turris-Oltul Turnu Măgurele.[5]

International career

[edit]

Ionuț Rus played for Romania U16[2][1] and Romania U18[2] football teams, now being eligible for Romania U19 team, for which he made his debut on 17 November 2018, in a 3-5 defeat against Greece.
