Moldovan halfback Valeriu Ciuperca returned to Anji after being borrowed by Tom Tomsk. The 23-year-old player has chances to play again in the Upper League the next season, IPN reports.

Ciuperca was born in Tiraspol. He made his debut at Academia Chisinau. In 2012, he played six matches for Russia’s Krasnodar in the Premier League. He was then borrowed by Yenisey and Spartak Nalchik. In 2014, he signed for Anji Makhachkala.

Ciuperca plays in the championship of Russia as a Russian citizen and wasn’t summoned to the national football team of Moldova by his former Academia coach Igor Dobrovolski.
