He played for 15 years and in more than 300 matches for FC Bihor Oradea (Crișul was renamed as FC Bihor in 1972).[1] In generally, Szűcs played for teams based in his hometown, except the 1973–74 season, season in which he played for Mureșul Deva and Jiul Petroșani, with Jiul also winning the 1973–74 Cupa României, Szűcs scoring the fourth goal of the final.[2]
