Career
Club career
A scout from Portuguese club União Leiria persuaded Apostol to come to Portugal, which he did. Two days after his 18th birthday, he travelled to Portugal and joined the club, playing for the club's U19 team. Apostol wanted to stay at the club but had to return to Moldova because his residence permit expired.[2]
In the summer 2019, Apostol moved to the Netherlands because he got a job in West Friesland. Apostol was allowed to train with HVV Hollandia, but however, the club already had too many players in his position. Hollandia's coach, Anand Jagdewsing, then tipped Apostol about Always Forward SV, which he ended up joining.[2] This was Apostol's second adventure abroad, having previously played in three months for FC Orchomenos in Greece.[2]
