During this period he made 23 appearances and scored 9 goals for the club. The following season Bicfalvi moved to Liga I side CSM Jiul Petroșani. After the team was relegated, he was signed by FC Steaua București on a five-year deal. In 2012, as his contract expired he subsequently joined Ukrainian club FC Volyn Lutsk. Bicfalvi ended the 2014–15 Ukrainian Premier League season as joint-top scorer with 17 goals,[2] earning him on 7 July 2015 a transfer to Liaoning Whowin F.C. in the Chinese Super League.[3] He did not adapt to life in China and after a brief spell with FC Dinamo București, main rival of his former team Steaua, he put pen on a contract with FC Tom Tomsk, newly promoted to the Russian Premier League.
