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 4 shirt at Tannadice.
His earlier senior football included a spell at Istra 1961, where he made three league appearances in 2022-23. His career has since moved on to Scotland, where Dundee United have given him a far more substantial first-team role.
In 2025-26, Iovu has remained a regular part of the Dundee United side, making 27 league appearances, along with one League Cup appearance and one Scottish Cup appearance. His total for the club across all competitions stands at 29 appearances.
His current market value is around £255,000, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, his profile is straightforward enough: a tall Moldovan centre-half getting steady senior football in the Scottish Premiership.
