The 23-year-old began his career with home country side Liberty Salonta but really made his mark with Bihor Oradea.
He scored 29 goals in sixty games for Oradea and that earned him a transfer to Hungarian side Kaposvari Rakoczi in 2013.
Markus, who has caps for Romania at under-19 and under-21 level, returned home to have brief spells with Gaz Metan Medias, Viitorul Constanta and Olimpia Satu Mare before coming over to England.
