Cătălin Golofca, the 35-year-old former FCSB right winger, has signed a two-year contract with Șoimii Gura Humorului, a rising team in Romania’s third division[1][3][4]. After a brief but notable stint at FCSB between 2017 and 2018—where he played in both Champions League play-off matches against Sporting Lisbon—Golofca brings valuable top-tier experience to the fresh, ambitious project at Șoimii. The move follows his departure from Unirea Alba Iulia, where he cited family reasons for returning to his native region[2].
Golofca’s arrival is seen as a significant boost for Șoimii, strengthening their attack and signaling a commitment to ambition in Liga 3. His statement at the unveiling highlighted the importance of project trust, management professionalism, and personal motivation to achieve collective success[1][3].
Recent signings like Lorand Fulop, another veteran with first-league experience, further reinforce Șoimii’s intent to make a strong impression this season.
**Insight:**
Golofca’s signing underscores Șoimii’s determination to blend experience and regional pride as they target promotion from Liga 3.
