Tiberiu Gabriel Bălan (born February 17, 1981 in Ocna Mureş ) is a Romanian football player . The midfielder has been under contract with Farul Constanța since October 2015 .

Career

At the age of 16 Bălan came into the squad of the first team of Universitatea Cluj , which played in Divizia A at the time . In February 1998 he came there for his first assignment. In his first two seasons he hardly got a chance. Only after relegation to Divizia B at the end of the 1998/99 season he became a regular player. In the winter break of 1999/2000 he left Cluj and joined the first division team Rapid Bucharest . At the runner-up in 2000 , however, he came only to a few missions, so that he was loaned to the league rivals Gaz Metan Mediaș in the winter break of 2000/01 . With Gaz Metan he had to relegate at the end of the season.

In the summer of 2001 Bălan left Rapid and moved to local rivals Sportul Studențesc . Was he still a supplementary player in the first two seasons, he became a regular after relegation in 2003 . Even after the immediate resurgence , he was one of the top performers and contributed twelve goals to reaching fourth place in the 2005/06 season . After this success Sportul had to relegate to League II due to tax debts. Then Bălan was used less often. In January 2008 he was loaned to the first division club FCU Politehnica Timișoara , but was rarely used there. In summer 2008 he returned to Sportul, which arranged another loan deal with Unirea Urziceni . This turned out to be a stroke of luck for him, as he became a regular there and won the championship in 2009 . He was then loaned out to Urziceni again for half a year, but was rarely used. In the second half of the 2009/10 season he played on loan for Rapid Bucharest, but only came to a single use.

After his return to Sportul, which had just been promoted to League 1, he became a regular player in the 2010/11 season and was able to build on previous performances with twelve goals. Although he finished the season with his team in last place, he still managed to stay up, which many other clubs did not receive a license. A few game days after the start of the 2011/12 season , local rivals Steaua Bucharest signed him. At Steaua he could not prevail and dissolved his contract in January 2013. In the summer of 2013 he returned to Rapid Bucharest. There he only made a few appearances in the 2013/14 season and returned to League 1 with his club. Subsequently, his contract was not extended and he was without a club for a few months. Second division club FC Voluntari signed him in September . There it was only used irregularly at first. It was not until the championship round of 2014/15 that he came more often and rose to League 1 with his club. A few weeks later, he dissolved his contract in Voluntari and moved to Farul Constanța in the Liga II.

National team

In November 2004, the then national coach Anghel Iordănescu Bălan nominated for the first time for a game of the Romanian national team , but did not use him. It was only under Iordănescu's successor, Victor Pițurcă , that he came on February 9, 2005 against Slovakia for his first international match when he came on for Florentin Petre in the 70th minute . Between August 2005 and May 2006 he was a regular member of the Romanian squad. It then took more than three years until Pițurcă's successor Răzvan Lucescu Bălan called in October 2009, but did not use him in the final qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup .

In August 2011, Bălan was under the new coach Pițurcă for the last time in the circle of the national team and was used in the friendly against San Marino in the first half.
