Florin Lovin (born 11 February 1982) is a Romanian former professional footballer who played mainly as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Lovin played for FCM Bacău between 2001 and 2005, prior to joining Steaua București. He made his Divizia A debut on 25 May 2002 in the FCM Bacău 2–1 defeat at FC National. As of 1 January 2008, he played 132 games in Liga I scoring three goals.

On 7 July 2008, Steaua's coach Marius Lăcătuş sent Lovin to Steaua II București for the indiscipline during training. Steaua's board have announced that Lovin has been transfer-listed. On 8 July 2008, Gigi Becali said that he would not let Lovin go for less than €800 000. On 23 July 2008, Steaua's coach called him back to first team. In 2009–10, Lovin was demoted to the B squad[1] again. On 20 July 2009, Lovin was transferred to TSV 1860 Munich.[2]

On 12 September 2009, Lovin suffered a serious injury during a clash with Greuther Fürth's Youssef Mokhtari. He suffered a ligament break, which kept him off the field for half a year. After completing 26 matches for the 1860 Munich during the 2010–11 season,[3] his contract was terminated.

He signed a three-year contract with Greek Super League side Kerkyra in July 2011 but his contract terminated in December 2011.
