Eight months later he came back to Stiinta CFR Craiova (today Gaz Metan CFR Craiova) in Liga III where he played 35 games and he was named under 21 player of the League (GDS.ro). After one and a half seasons, AC Bellinzona loaned him for half a season but he sustained several injuries and did not play in any official games.
