Florin Gardoș (Romanian pronunciation: [floˈrin ˈɡardoʃ]; born 29 October 1988) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Academica Clinceni.

Early life

Gardoș was born in the city of Satu Mare in Romania.[4]

Club career

Gardoș started his senior career with Concordia Chiajna in 2006. In his first season at the club, he helped them achieve promotion to the second division.[5]

Steaua București

On 17 June 2010, Gardoș was transferred to FC Steaua București.[6] He made his competitive debut for the Roș-albaștrii on 16 August, in a Liga I match against Victoria Brănești.[7]

In September 2011, Gardoș received a ten-match ban after seriously tackling Pandurii Târgu Jiu midfielder Cosmin Băcilă, which resulted in a broken left tibia and fibula.[8]

Southampton

On 14 August 2014, Gardoș signed a four-year deal with English club Southampton for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around 7.5 million.[9][10] On 13 September, he made his first appearance for "the Saints" as an 89th-minute substitute for Jack Cork in a 4–0 Premier League victory over Newcastle United. His first start came on 23 September in a 2–1 away defeat of Arsenal in the League Cup.[11]

On 23 July 2015, Southampton manager Ronald Koeman announced that Gardoș would be sidelined for up to seven months after suffering a knee injury in a pre-season friendly with Feyenoord.[12] He finally made his return to the first team in a 5–0 FA Cup loss to Arsenal on 28 January 2017.[13]

Universitatea Craiova

On 19 February 2018, the last day of the winter transfer window in Romania, Gardoș joined Universitatea Craiova on loan for the remainder of the campaign.[14][15] He made his debut on 31 March in a league fixture against CFR Cluj, which finished 0–0. Gardoș played a further three matches in all competitions before suffering a strain on 28 April which effectively ended his season.[16]

As his contract with Southampton was not renewed,[17] he chose to stay in Oltenia, and signed a two-year contract with Universitatea Craiova.[18]
