Club career

Universitatea Cluj Goga began his career at Universitatea Cluj, where he mainly played as winger at first. He was promoted to first team in the summer of 2003 when the club was playing in the Liga II. He scored a goal helping them achieve promotion to the Liga I, after several years of absence. While playing in the second league he had not received much attention, however, after several great games in a horrendous first half of the season for Universitatea, clubs like Politehnica Timișoara came forward and offered €1 million and 12 players in exchange for the forward's services. The offer was rejected, and Goga remained at the club until the end of the 2007–08 Liga I season. After that, he moved to Politehnica.

After a disastrous start of the season, scoring only one goal in thirteen rounds, he scored the winning goal in the 69th minute in 2–1 victory against FC Vaslui. On 26 February 2011, Goga scored the equalizer against Gaz Metan Mediaş in a 3–1 win. It was his third goal in Liga 1 this season.
