Ionuţ Laurian Tîrnăcop (born 22 April 1987) is a Romanian former professional football player who played as a midfielder.
Tîrnăcop started playing football when he was eight years old at Chimia, a team from his home town, Turnu Măgurele. When he was fifteen, he made his debut in Liga III with another local team, Turris Turnu Măgurele.[1] One year later he joined Rulmentul Alexandria and in 2004 he moved to the Marius Lăcătuș football school.[2]
In 2005, Tîrnăcop was transferred to Sportul Studențesc where he spent five years before debuting in Liga I in a match against FC Timișoara. In August 2011, he scored his first goal in the first Romanian league against CFR Cluj.[3] At the beginning of 2012, he missed a transfer to the Liga I side, Petrolul Ploiești but, in November 2012, he joined FC Bihor as a free agent.[4]
In April 2013, he was brought to Universitatea Cluj by the manager of the team at that time, Ioan Viorel Ganea,[5] and scored the first goal for his new team in a match against Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț.
In September 2014, he signed a contract with Universitatea Craiova.
