Club career[]

Miculescu joined the youth ranks of UTA Arad in the spring of 2016, after having previously played for Electrica Timișoara, the Gheorghe Hagi Academy and the Atlético Madrid academy in Bucharest, respectively. He made his senior debut for UTA on 23 September 2017, aged 16, coming on as a 78th-minute substitute for Amir Jorza in a 0–1 Liga II loss at Olimpia Satu Mare.[1]

On 9 March 2019, Miculescu scored his first goal for the club by equalising in an eventual 2–1 home victory over ACS Poli Timișoara.[2] In the 2019–20 season, he amassed three goals from 25 appearances as UTA became Liga II champion and achieved promotion to the top tier.[3]

Miculescu recorded his first match in the Liga I on 28 September 2020, in a 1–0 away defeat of Dinamo București,[4] and netted for the first time on 20 April 2021 in another 1–0 win against the same opponent.[5] On 2 October 2021, he scored his first career double in a 2–2 league draw also against Dinamo București.[6]

A tall and physical player, Miculescu can be deployed in an advanced midfield position or wide as a winger, preferably on the right flank.[7]
