Alexandru Mihai Țăruș (born 9 May 1989)[1] is a Romanian rugby union footballer. He plays as a prop and he currently plays for SCM Timisoara[2]

He was formed as a player at RC Braşov. As a junior player he won the Junior World Cup (2009) with the National U20 Team in Kenya. He played for RC Timişoara in the Romanian Rugby Championship.[citation needed]

After playing for Romania Under 20 in 2009, from 2013 Tarus was named in the Romania squad. He has 9 caps for Romania, since his debut at the 30-8 win over Argentina Jaguars in Bucharest at 12 June 2013, for the IRB Nations Cup. He was called for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, playing in two games as a substitute but without scoring. He still has to score his first international points.[citation needed]

On 10 April 2017, Țăruș travels to England to join Aviva Premiership side Sale Sharks on a two-year contract ahead of the 2017-18 season.[3]

On 15 April 2019, Tarus left Sale Sharks to join Italian club Zebre in the Pro14 from the 2019-20 season to 2020-21 season.[4][5][6]

In 2023 Țăruș returned in the Liga Națională de Rugby at his former team, SCM Timișoara.
