Career
Childhood

Varga arrived at Sportul Studențesc when he was 17. Before playing for the senior team, he played until 2004 at Sportul Studențesc Youngsters, a well-known Youth Academy in Bucharest and in Romania. When he arrived at Sportul, he had a controversy with his coach, Cornel Jurcă, in his first match for Sportul's second team, and he was relegated to the Youth Team.[4] The Youth Team coach, Cristian Sava, helped Varga very much, and in 2004, Varga was ready for playing in the Romanian top division, then called Divizia A.[4]

During the summer of 2009, Varga was in talks with a number of teams, but ultimately returned to the Ialomița-based team for a one-year loan. Varga made his debut in European competitions in a UEFA Champions League clash against Sevilla FC on 16 September and scored in a 1–1 draw with VfB Stuttgart two weeks later. It was the first goal ever scored in a European competition by Unirea Urziceni.
