Cosmin Adrian Mariș (born 6 January 1975) is a Romanian former footballer who played as a forward.[1][2][3]

Club career

Mariș was born on 6 January 1975 in Cluj, Romania.[1][4] He played junior-level football at Universitatea Cluj.[4] He made his Divizia A debut on 19 April 1995 under coach Ioan Andone in "U" Cluj's 1–0 home loss to Dinamo București.[1][4][5] Subsequently, he made three appearances in the 1995 Intertoto Cup.[1][6] In the 1995–96 season, Mariș scored a personal record of nine league goals, including a double in a 2–0 win over Rapid București.[1][2] His last Divizia A appearance took place on 7 June 1997 in a 3–1 loss to Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț, totaling 61 matches with 16 goals in the competition.[1]

In 1997, Mariș and his teammate, Alin Bănceu, were transferred together from "U" Cluj to Fortuna Sittard.[1][2] There, they became teammates with their compatriot Dorel Zegrean and a young Mark van Bommel.[7] Mariș made his Eredivisie debut on 3 May 1998 when Bert van Marwijk sent him in the 87th minute to replace Roberto Lanckohr in a 4–1 home win over NAC Breda.[1][8] Over the course of four seasons, Mariș made 10 league appearances for Fortuna.[1]

For the 2001–02 season, Mariș joined Eerste Divisie club TOP Oss.[1][3][4] He ended his career in 2005, after playing one season for Divizia B club ACU Arad.[1][3][4] His career performances were limited by a fibula fracture.[2]

International career

Mariș played one game for Romania's under-21 team on 19 March 1997 when coach Victor Pițurcă sent him in the 49th minute to replace Bogdan Andone in a 1–1 draw against Hungary.[9]
