Career

Andrei played for the Luxembourg first division club VC Strassen until 2006 . From there, the native Romanian came to evivo Düren , where he initially played in the second team. The middle blocker, who grew up in Düren himself, later moved up to the Bundesliga team, which reached the final of the DVV Cup in 2008 . Because he received only a few games, he moved to the second division TSV Giesen / Hildesheim in 2009 . In 2011 the team was unbeaten champions of the second division north, but renounced promotion. Andrei therefore went to Bundesliga club VC Gotha , with whom he narrowly missed the playoffs in the 2011/12 season. In the summer of 2012, Andrei moved to the French second division club Saint-Nazaire Volley-Ball Atlantique. There he and his team became champions of Ligue B and thus managed to move up to Ligue A. For the 2013/14 season, Andrei stayed with the team from the west coast of France and successfully asserted himself (as vice-captain of the team) in the French League. At the end of 2013, the middle blocker came to his first appearances in the German national team . At the 2014 World Cup in Poland , he won the bronze medal with the national team. He then moved to the top Belgian club Topvolley Antwerp . In June 2015 Andrei won the gold medal at the first European Games with Germany in Baku . In the 2015/16 season he played again in France for Gazélec FC Ajaccio , with whom he won the French Cup.

In 2016 he returned to the German Bundesliga team SWD Powervolleys Düren . In the 2016/17 season he reached third place in the championship with the Düren team. With the national team he took part in the European Championship in Poland and reached the final, which was lost 3-2 to Russia ; the silver medal was the first German EM medal. The 2017/18 season ended for Andrei in the playoff quarter-finals . At the beginning of the following 2018/19 season he was appointed captain of the team. The team reached the semi-finals in the DVV Cup and the quarter-finals in the Bundesliga playoffs . In the 2019/20 DVV Cup , Andrei reached the final with the SWD Powervolleys, which the team lost to the Berlin Recycling Volleys . When the Bundesliga season was canceled shortly before the playoffs, Düren was in sixth place in the table. Andrei will also play for Düren in the 2020/21 season.
