We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with FC Steaua Bucharest for the transfer of Vlad Chiriches.

The centre-back joined Steaua from Pandurii Targu Jiu, making his debut in July 2011 before helping them to the Romanian Liga I championship last year.

The 23-year-old made a total of 62 appearances during his stay in the Romanian capital, scoring four times, and his impressive appearances at club level have seen him capped on 19 occasions so far by the Romania national team.
