Andrei Cosmin Ciolacu (born 9 August 1992) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Maltese Premier League club Birkirkara.

Career

In January 2016, Ciolacu signed a contract with ASA Târgu Mureș.[1]

Midway through 2017, Ciolacu signed for Singaporean club Warriors,[2] integrating quickly into the team.[3]

On his Singapore League Cup debut against Home United, Ciolacu scored three goals, taking his club to the top of the group.[4] In December 2017, he said that "The speed of play in Singapore is lower than in Romania, and the players do not give much importance to physical training, although this matters a lot in modern football. There is room for improvement, of course, but there is fantastic potential for development."[5]

On 24 January 2020, Ciolacu joined Italian Serie D club Avezzano.[6] He played for the club until the summer 2020, where he moved back to Romania to join FC U Craiova 1948.
