He started playing rugby union at Bucharest School Sports Club and had a long association with CS Dinamo București.[1] Internationally, Ion featured in 38 Test matches, which included a stint as captain. He scored Romania's only try in a famous win over Wales at Cardiff Arms Park in 1988.[2] In 1991 he represented Romania at the Rugby World Cup, playing all three matches.[3]
