Club career

Barbu started his professional career with FC Argeş Piteşti, helping it achieve promotion from the second division in 1994, while scoring an impressive 89 goals during his seven-season spell (safe for a short spell with South Korea's Suwon Samsung Bluewings).

Midway through 1998–99, Barbu moved to FC Rapid Bucureşti, helping the capital outfit to the national title with eight goals in only 11 matches (he was also crowned the competition's top scorer the previous season with 21 for Argeş Piteşti, despite not having played the entire season with the team, due to his time in Asia).

In 1999–2000, Barbu moved to Spain, joining La Liga strugglers CD Numancia. He netted six goals during that season, helping the Soria side barely avoid relegation. During his second season (which he finished with Rapid), Barbu was joined by compatriot Laurenţiu Roşu.

Barbu retired in 2004, after spells with old team Argeş and CS Dacia Mioveni (the last in the second level). With Rapid, he appeared in two UEFA Champions League matches scoring once, adding six games in the UEFA Cup (four goals, for Piteşti).

International career

Barbu gained three caps for Romania, his first being on 6 September 1997, in a 1998 FIFA World Cup qualification trouncing of Liechtenstein (8–1 away triumph, in which he scored).

He also netted in his last, against Greece.[1]
