Vasile Balan (born 7 February 1992) is a Romanian rugby union player. He plays as a prop for professional SuperLiga club Steaua București.

Club career

Vasile Bălan started playing rugby as a youth for a school based local Romanian club, CSS Bârlad, in his native city of Bârlad. A logical move to the local club RC Bârlad followed. His professional debut came in 2016 for Politehnica Iași. After just one season with Politehnica he moved to Bucharest-based side, CSM where he played for two seasons. In 2019 he was signed by Steaua following the dissolution of his former club, CSM.[2][3][4][5]

International career

Bălan is also selected for Romania's national team, the Oaks, making his international debut during the Week 5 of 2019 Rugby Europe Championship in a match against the Zwarte Duivels / Diables Noirs on 17 March 2019.[6][7]
