Early life

edit

Neguț grew up supporting his hometown club Petrolul Ploiești, like his father. They are both nicknamed "Tabarcea", after the Petrolul Ploiești player who won two Divizia A titles and collapsed on the field in 1964, at age 26.[1]

Career

Neguț started his senior career with Liga III club Urban Titu. In 2016, he joined Chindia Târgoviște,[2] with which he promoted to the Liga I at the end of the 2018–19 season after scoring twelve times from 34 appearances.

On 15 July 2019, Neguț made his top flight debut in a 2–2 draw at Gaz Metan Mediaș, and on 16 August netted for the first time in the competition in a 3–2 home defeat of Dinamo București.

Loan to CFR Cluj

On 18 January 2022, Neguț agreed to a loan until the end of the campaign at reigning champions CFR Cluj.[3] He recorded his debut five days later, in a 3–3 league draw at FCSB, and scored his first goal in a 2–1 victory over Gaz Metan Mediaș on 12 February.

Hermannstadt

Following Chindia Târgoviște's relegation to the Liga II, Neguț moved to Hermannstadt on a two-year deal on 25 May 2023.[4] He netted his first goal on 6 November, in a 1–0 Liga I victory over his former team CFR Cluj.[5]
