[edit] Career

[edit] Politehnica Timişoara

Torje made his debut during the 2005-06 season for Politehnica Timişoara against FC Argeş and scored on his second match, against Farul Constanţa. He was promoted in the first squad by Gheorghe Hagi, manager of Timişoara at that time.[2]

[edit] Dinamo Bucureşti

On 15 January 2008, Torje signed a five-year contract with Dinamo Bucureşti. The reported transfer fee was $2.5 million.[3] He played his 100th match in Liga I for Dinamo on 6 May 2011, in a defeat against CFR Cluj.

[edit] Udinese

On 30 August 2011, he signed a five-year contract with Serie A club Udinese for an undisclosed fee,[4] rumored to be around 7 million.[5] He played his first game in Serie A against U.S. Lecce, on 11 September 2011, even though he had only five days of training with his new team,[6] and he had an impressive performance, suggesting that Alexis Sanchez may not be as irreplaceable as first thought.[7]

[edit] International career

Torje was the captain of Romania's U21 international squad. He also made his debut for the senior team in a friendly match against Albania on 3 September 2010.

He scored his first international goal in a match against Cyprus. On 2 September 2011, he scored twice in a 2–0 win over Luxembourg.
