Club career
Ionuț Rus started his career at LPS Banatul Timișoara, the club of the Sports High School from his hometown. On 30 January 2016 he signed a 3-year contract with Italian side S.S. Lazio.[1] In the three years spent in Rome the young goalkeeper from Timișoara played in no less than 24 matches.[2]
CFR Cluj
On 6 January 2019 Rus signed his first professional contract with the defending champion of Romania, CFR Cluj. He will be under contract with "the railwaymen" until January 2024.[2]
Luceafărul Oradea
On 13 February 2019 CFR Cluj decided to give him the chance to play constantly, loaning him to the second league side CS Luceafărul Oradea.[3][4] This decision was made due to the tough competition that was on this position in CFR's squad, where the first two choices as a goalkeeper were Giedrius Arlauskis and Jesús Fernández.
Turris Turnu Măgurele
On 9 July 2019 Rus was loaned by CFR Cluj to Turris-Oltul Turnu Măgurele.[5]
