Iovan made his debut at CSM Reşiţa in 1977, before joining the squad of Luceafărul București one year later. Luceafărul was then a team formed by the Romanian Football Federation to gather the young talents of Romanian football and did not play in any league. Iovan returned to Reşiţa in 1979, but in the winter of 1981 joined Steaua București where he played for ten years, until 1991.[2]

In 1991 he joined the English club Brighton & Hove Albion, but returned to Steaua București in 1992 for half a season only before signing with Rapid Bucharest, then Electroputere Craiova in 1995.[2] His last season as a professional football player was 1996–97 with CSM Reşiţa.[2]

Iovan played a total of 373 games in Divizia A and scored 20 goals. He was champion of Divizia A on six occasions and also won the Romanian Cup three times, all with Steaua Bucharest.[2]

He was the team captain of Steaua when they won the 1986 European Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.[2]

On 25 March 2008 he was decorated by the president of Romania, Traian Băsescu with Ordinul "Meritul Sportiv" — (The Order "The Sportive Merit") class II for his part in winning the 1986 European Cup Final.[3][4]
