Club career

Early career

Born in Slatina, Burcă began his youth career at Football School Gică Popescu.

Emelec

He began his professional career in Ecuador at Club Sport Emelec in the Primera Categoría Serie A league making six appearances.

JEF United Ichihara

A year later he got noticed by the Japanese club JEF United Ichihara and signed with them. He played there only four matches and impressed the scouts of Ventforet Kofu and he was transferred immediately.

Ventforet Kofu

Burcă played sixteen matches and scored one goal for Ventforet.

Universitatea Craiova

After a year in Ecuador and near two years in Japan, Burcă returned to Romania to play for FC Universitatea Craiova a total of 25 matches, which impressed FC Dinamo București who signed him.

Dinamo București

He won with them the Romanian League during the 2003–04 season. After spending three years with Dinamo, Burcă signed a one-and-a-half-year and contract with FC Național.

Energie Cottbus

In June 2007, Bundesliga side Energie Cottbus announced signing him a three-year contract deal. However, in his first Bundesliga season at the club he did not make any appearance due a serious injury, which resulted a year break in the 2007–08 season. Burcă was one of the key players at Cottbus and they named him as captain in 2009. He was loaned out in 2008 to Chinese club Beijing Guoan.

Politehnica Timișoara

After his contract expired with the German side, Burcă signed a one-year contract with FC Politehnica Timișoara returning to Liga 1 after three years. He was handed the number 25 shirt.[2] He made his debut in a Europa League play-off against Manchester City in a 2–0 loss.
