Cosmin Contra (born December 15, 1975 in Timişoara) is a Romanian football player, who currently plays for Getafe CF. He usually plays on the right wing.
The Romanian International started his footballing career at Politehnica Timişoara where he played for three seasons before moving to arch-rivals Dinamo Bucharest. After four season with the Bucharest based team, he was transferred for 800.000 dollars to Alaves, where he was a vital player in the UEFA Cup campaign which saw Alaves come second in the competition. Contra then managed yet another excellent move, as Italian giants AC Milan bought him from the Spanish team, but his spell in Italy lasted only one season. He then changed clubs once more and went to Atlético Madrid where, once more, he only managed to play for one season at the club.
Contra moved to West Bromwich Albion on loan in 2004–05, making his debut in a 2–1 League Cup defeat to Colchester United on 21 September 2004. His league debut for Albion came almost two months later, West Brom losing 2–1 at home to Middlesbrough. Overall, the loan was not successful, with Contra playing just six times and receiving a red card in the last game of his spell in a 5–0 home defeat to Liverpool. He then returned to the Romanian first Division, at the club which brought him up as a player, Politehnica Timisoara. He managed to be recalled at the National side due to his good performances at Poli and the next season saw him move, on loan once more, at his current club, Getafe, where he managed to keep hold of a place in the first eleven.
Contra is known to be a rash player, his conflict with Juventus player Edgar Davids while he was in Italy being one of the reasons for his quick departure from Milano. Since September, 2006, he has a Spanish passport.
Contra has played for the Romanian national team over 50 times. He played for his country in Euro 2000. |
