Strătilă signed his first professional contract in July 2005, with Euro Africa Football School from Buşteni. He was then loaned to some smaller teams like Inter Gaz București and Royal Ghimbav.
He was bought to Steaua's second team in 2008, but later he was released, under the spell of Marius Lăcătuş who considered the Strătilă could not ever be a good player.[2] To get rid of him, even if the player had the support of the ownership, Lăcătuş claimed that he was too old for the first team. The coach said that he didn't need a 25-year-old player, though Strătilă was only 21 at that time.[2]
In the Summer of 2009, Strătilă arrived at Astra Ploieşti as a free agent. He soon became a first team player and in August 2011 he was call to the national team.
In January 2012, Strătilă was transferred to Dinamo București. He signed a contract for four years, until December 2015.[3] Strătilă scored his first goal for Dinamo in a game against FC Vaslui, on 18 May 2013. Dinamo lost that match, 4–1.
In August 2013, Strătilă was loaned out at fellow Liga I team Concordia Chiajna.
In 2014, Strătilă was released by Dinamo and in October he signed a contract with UTA, in Liga III.[4]
He made his debut for Romania on 10 August 2011, against San Marino.[5]
