Bogdan Sorin Stancu (born 28 June 1987, in Pitești)[1] is a Romanian footballer who plays for Turkish Süper Lig side Gençlerbirliği. His nickname is Motanul (meaning Tomcat). He plays as a striker or in a more supporting role as a second striker or left winger.

Stancu started his professional career at Argeș Pitești, also having a brief loan spell at Mioveni.[2] Due to an irregularity in his contract he left the club and joined Unirea Urziceni.[3] In the summer of 2008, after two years at Urziceni, he moved to Steaua București and finished his first season as Steaua's top scorer with 11 goals. In the first half of the 2010–11 season Stancu managed to score 16 times in 27 games after which Galatasaray paid €5m to secure his services. After a not so successful stint at the Turkish club, he was loaned for a year to Orduspor, after which he joined them on a permanent basis. After Orduspor was relegated from the Süper Lig Stancu moved to Gençlerbirliği for an undisclosed fee.[4]

After a short period he was sent to Dacia Mioveni in Divizia B, where he had a contract of only $1000 per month and a clause by which he earned $1 for every minute played for Mioveni. His team won a few games with Stancu as their only goalscorer. After a season where he scored 3 goals in 12 matches, he returned to FC Argeș and made his debut in Divizia A at the age of 19 against former champions Steaua București, game which ended as a goalless draw.[7]
