Iurie Iovu, born on 6 July 2002 (age 24), is a Moldovan central defender with Dundee United. At 6ft 5in (1.96m), he is an imposing presence, and he wears the number four shirt at Tannadice.
His senior career has included a spell with Istra 1961, where he made three league appearances in the 2022–23 season. That remains the clearest earlier marker in a career still being built rather than one already neatly defined.
In 2026–27, Iovu has made one league appearance for Dundee United, along with two League Cup outings and one in the Scottish Cup. His Dundee United total stands at four appearances across all competitions.
His market value is around £340,000, according to Transfermarkt. For now, his profile is that of a tall Moldovan defender trying to establish himself properly in Scottish football.
