Farul Constanța
Mazilu made his senior debut for Farul Constanța on 9 November 2022, in a 2–0 Cupa României away win over Rapid București; he came on as a 46th-minute substitute for Luca Andronache and scored an injury-time goal.[2] Three days later, he recorded his Liga I debut in a 1–1 draw at Chindia Târgoviște.[3]
On 6 February 2023, Mazilu netted his first goal in the latter competition by opening the scoring in a 2–1 victory over Universitatea Craiova.[4] On 22 April, he took his league tally to six goals after scoring in a 1–0 defeat of title contenders CFR Cluj.[5] Mazilu amassed 19 Liga I appearances during his first season as a senior, as his club won the national title.
On 12 July 2023, Mazilu played his first European game by starting in a 1–0 home success over Sheriff Tiraspol in the UEFA Champions League first qualifying round.[6] Three days later, Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion announced that it reached an agreement in advance to sign Mazilu in January 2024,[7] with the transfer fee later confirmed by Farul owner Gheorghe Hagi to be €3 million.[8]
On 28 July 2023, following Farul's elimination from the Champions League, Mazilu scored his first European goal in a 3–2 home win against Urartu in the second qualifying round of the Europa Conference League.[9]
Brighton & Hove Albion
On 22 January 2024, Brighton & Hove Albion confirmed that the transfer of Mazilu went through and that he subsequently joined Dutch club Vitesse on loan for the remainder of the season.[10] He only made three league appearances without scoring, as the team finished 18th in the Eredivisie and was directly relegated.
In October 2024, Mazilu underwent hip surgery, followed by a second procedure in January 2025, which sidelined for most of the campaign.[11]
Dinamo București
In late August 2025, reports indicated that Dinamo București was close to transferring Mazilu for a fee between €450,000 and €600,000, with Brighton & Hove Albion retaining a 20% sell-on clause.[12][13] He was officially unveiled on 31 August, signing a four-year contract with the club.[14][15]
