Rareş Soporan

Rareş Soporan (born June 29, 1983 in Cluj-Napoca) is a Romanian football player, currently under contract at Ceahlăul Piatra Neamţ. He is a central Defender but can also take up the role of a defensive midfielder.

He started football at small clubs, like CUG Cluj and Minerul Iara, before moving to Universitatea Cluj in 2002. The first two seasons at "U" were rather uneventful but then Soporan made 28 appearances and scored 9 goals in just one season for the Divizia B team. Winter 2006 saw him transferred to FCU Politehnica Timişoara for the sum of 200.000 US dollars.

After a year and half, in which he did not rise up to the club's expectations, Soporan was bought by Ceahlăul.
