Rus started his career as a senior in 2014 with hometown side Olimpia Satu Mare, before moving to Hungary the following year and representing Fehérgyarmat, Balmazújváros and Puskás Akadémia.

The latter team loaned him out for the 2018–19 season to Sepsi OSK in his native country.[1] On 25 June 2019, Rus continued in Hungary and its Nemzeti Bajnokság I by signing for Fehérvár.[2]

On 1 August 2022, Rus signed a four-year contract with Italian team Pisa.[3] On 14 August 2023, Rus was loaned to Pafos in Cyprus, with an option to buy.[4]

International career

Rus was selected in the Romania under-21 squad for the 2019 UEFA European Championship, recording one appearance as his team was eliminated by defending champions Germany in the semi-finals.[5]

After the conclusion of the under-21 tournament, Rus received his first call-up to the Romania senior team,[6][7] and on 8 September 2019 started in a 1–0 victory over Malta counting for the Euro 2020 qualification.

Personal life
