Club career
Early career and Universitatea Craiova
Vlad practiced youth football for his hometown club CSȘ Târgoviște, before joining the academy of Universitatea Craiova in 2015.[2] He made his professional debut for the latter on 7 May 2017, aged 18, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 Liga I defeat to eventual champions Viitorul Constanța.[2][3]
FCSB
On 9 July 2017, fellow Liga I team FCSB announced the signing of Vlad on a six-year contract with a €30 million buyout clause.[4][5][6] Vlad made his FCSB debut on 9 September 2017, also a 0–1 loss to Viitorul Constanța.[7] His first European appearance came on 23 November that year, in a 0–2 away loss to Viktoria Plzeň in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.[8]
On 15 February 2018, after first-choice goalkeeper Florin Niță moved to Sparta Prague, Vlad started in a 1–0 home win over Lazio in the Europa League round of 32.[9] He then became an understudy to Cristian Bălgrădean, who was signed a few days prior to the second leg against Lazio.[citation needed]
Vlad started to appear frequently for the Roș-albaștrii in the 2019–20 season, amassing 26 appearances in all competitions. Following a series of unconvincing performances, he lost his starter status to Ștefan Târnovanu in March 2022.[10]
Aktobe
He spent a single season with Aktobe in Kazakhstan.
Arka Gdynia
Vlad joined Polish top-flight club Arka Gdynia in March 2026, having been a free agent.[11] After Arka's relegation at the end of the 2025–26 season,[12] it was announced Vlad would leave the club upon the expiration of his contract in June.[13][11]
International career
Vlad made his debut for the Romania national team in a friendly against Georgia on 2 June 2021, playing the full 90 minutes in the 1–2 home loss.[14]
