Career Tudor was born on 1 June 1974 in Frăsinet, Romania. He began playing senior-level football in 1993 at Flacăra Moreni in Divizia B.

In his last season he won the 2005–06 Magyar Kupa, but coach Aurél Csertői did not use him in the final. During his period spent at Fehérvár, Tudor was nicknamed "Pink Panther", and at one point the Hungarians considered giving him Hungarian citizenship in order to play for the national team.
