[edit] Club Career
[edit] Hertha BSC
Nicu made his first appearance with Hertha BSC on 31 July 2008 in the 2008–09 UEFA Cup first qualifying round second leg against FC Nistru Otaci. Nicu made his Bundesliga debut on 17 August 2008 in Hertha's opening fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt. Nicu came on in the 71st minute as a substitute, replacing Patrick Ebert. After two seasons with Hertha, the club chose not to renew Nicu's contract following their relegation to the 2. Bundesliga.[1]
[edit] SC Freiburg
On 1 July 2010, Nicu signed for SC Freiburg.[2]
[edit] 1860 Munich
On January 31 2012, Nicu signed for 1860 Munich.
[edit] International Career
Nicu elected to play for the country of his parents, rather than his country of birth. In 2009, he requested a Romanian passport.[3] Nicu was called up for matches against Serbia and Austria. At first it appeared he would not be able to play, since he had not received his Romanian citizenship yet,[4] but on 17 March it was announced that Nicu had been granted citizenship and would be permitted to play.[5] On 20 March 2009, he pledged his vow to become a Romanian citizen.[6] He made his debut for Romania on 1 April 2009 against Austria.
