Brisbane Roar FC can confirm the signing of Moldova international centre-forward Virgiliu Postolachi on a two-year deal for the 2026/27 Isuzu UTE A-League Men season.
Postolachi, 26, joins from Romanian Superliga club Universitatea Cluj and will wear the number nine shirt.
Born in Edineț, Moldova, Postolachi moved to France with his family as a child and joined the Paris Saint-Germain academy in 2013. He won back-to-back French under-17 championships with the club, scoring twice in the 2017 final against Monaco, and signed his first professional contract at PSG in July 2018.
He joined Lille in 2019 before moving to Belgian side Royal Excel Mouscron, where he made his senior debut against Antwerp in August 2020, and spent the second half of that season on loan at Vendsyssel FF in Denmark.
His first season in Romania brought about 10 goals for UTA Arad in 2022/23. A season at Ligue 2 club Grenoble followed before he returned to Romania with CFR Cluj, winning the Cupa României in his first campaign there. He joined Universitatea Cluj in September 2025. Postolachi has been capped 37 times for Moldova at senior level.
Speaking on the signing of Virgiliu, Brisbane Roar Sporting Director James Gow said, “Virgiliu’s signing brings the team a striker who can play with his back to goal, wins the ball in the air, and gives us a way of attacking heading into the season.
“He’s already shown he can score in European football and we’re very confident he can help the squad continue to build in the right direction as we inch closer to the start of the 2026/27 season.”
Speaking on joining the Roar, Virgiliu Postolachi said, “I’m excited to be joining Brisbane Roar and for the new challenge of playing in Australia. I’m hungry and ready to give my all for the club and it’s fans who look forward to meeting very soon.”
Postolachi is currently on route to join his new teammates in Indonesia ahead of the team’s pre-season tour this week.
