Club career

After spending the first half of his career in the lower tiers of Romanian football, Cioinac made his Liga I debut while on loan at Dinamo București, on February 23, 2014, in 1–2 loss to Viitorul Constanța.[2] At the end of the 2013–14 Liga I season he was released by Dinamo and returned to Fortuna Brazi.[3]

Pandurii Târgu Jiu

After another two seasons in the Liga II, Cioinac returned to the top tier of Romanian football to sign with struggling Pandurii Târgu Jiu.[4] Although he impressed here, Pandurii were relegated and the player soon left the club.[5]

Politehnica Iași

Cioinac followed his departing manager from Pandurii Târgu Jiu, Flavius Stoican, and signed a one-year contract with fellow Liga I club Politehnica Iași.[6] After a very strong first year with the Moldavian team in which they finished the league on sixth place, he signed another contract to keep him with the club for another two years.[7]
