Club career

FC Vaslui

Balaur was the only player of FC Vaslui that was born in Vaslui. He made a single substitute appearance for the club in the 2006–07 season. In the following seasons he was loaned to different teams like CSM Focșani or CS Otopeni. At the start of the 11/12 season he returned to FC Vaslui. Despite him being a striker, he was used as a central defender after Papp and Cânu's long term injuries and FC Vaslui's transfers ban. He made some fantastic games in Europa League and in Liga I as a central defender and was seen as a future important player for the team. Unfortunately, he suffered a very bad training injury in January 2012 that kept him out for 6 months.
