Alin Liţu (born 22 October 1986 in Craiova, Romania) is a retired football striker that was under contract with Steaua București.

Career

[edit]

Debut

[edit]

Coming out through the youth ranks of Steaua București, Alin Liţu made his debut under the coaching of Walter Zenga on 8 May 2005, during the Oţelul – Steaua 1-0 match. Used intermittently during the last part of that season, Liţu never really proved his point and ended up playing for the Steaua II during the following season.

Jiul spell

[edit]

During the 2006–2007 season he was loaned to CS Jiul Petroşani, where he played a total of 10 matches, but didn't score a single goal.

Gloria Buzău spell

[edit]

For the 2007–2008 season, Steaua București loaned him to newly promoted Gloria Buzău, where he would make a name for himself and earn first team experience. The season was disappointing for him, in terms of goalscoring – only four goals in 37 appearances. His loan was extended for another 6 months (the first half of the 2008–2009 season) before returning to Steaua București.

Steaua return

[edit]

After an impressive winter training period, where he scored many goals and seemed to be one of the frontrunners for occupying a first team spot, Liţu spent most of the following period playing for the Steaua II or coming as a sub in few matches.

In 2009–10, Liţu was demoted to the B squad.

In January 2010 Steaua II București loaned Liţu to Gaz Metan Mediaş until June 2012.
