Club

[edit]

Mazilu started his career at Sportul Studențesc in 1999. In the 2005–06 season, he was the leading goalscorer in the Romanian Liga I scoring 22 goals. The following season, he was taken to FC Rapid București, where he played for two years playing 34 games and scoring 18 goals. On 12 January 2008, Mazilu was transferred to the Ukrainian club FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk for a fee of €4 million, the highest fee received by a Romanian football club at that time. He failed to make an immediate impact. During his first year he only played eight games with a single goal scored. In 2009, he was loaned to FC Arsenal Kyiv after his transfer to CFR Cluj failed.[1]
