“Much success in your new adventure at FC Zhejiang, Alex! We are all with you and we are sure that you will be proud of everything you do,” the club added.
Mitriță, who scored 19 goals last season and scored 8 goals for the University in 37 matches played in Superliga, will be the first Romanian to play at Zhejiang FC.
