He holds the record for most goals scored in a Liga I match, scoring ten goals in the match between Juventus Bucureşti and Dacia Unirea Brăila from 1929-1930 season.
László Raffinsky begun his football career in 1924, playing for Unirea, a football club from Timişoara. In 1925, Raffinsky moved to CA Timişoara, and then, in 1927, at Chinezul Timişoara, one of the Romania's best clubs at that time. But Raffinsky's new club entered in a financial crisis, and for the first time in seven years, Chinezul lost the Romanian championship. Eventually, Raffinsky leaves Chinezul in 1929, signing with Juventus Bucureşti. In 1929-1930 season of Liga I, Raffinsky won his first title of champion with Juventus. In 1931, he returns to Timişoara, playing for another symbol of interwar period Romanian football, Ripensia. He leaves Ripensia in 1933, after winning another Liga I - champion title, leaving Romania for playing in Czechoslovakia, at SK Židenice. He returns in Romania after two years, his come-back to Bucharest, where he previously played at Juventus, being linked with a move to Rapid. He played until 1940 for Rapid, winning for three times the Romanian Cup. In 1939, he was arrested, together with another three players of Rapid, Iuliu Baratky, Ştefan Auer and Ioan Bogdan, because of their win in the final of the Romanian Cup against Venus Bucharest. They were arrested at the order of Gabriel Marinescu, the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Prefect of Bucharest, who was also the chairman of Venus. After a huge scandal initiated by the press, the four players were released from the jail after a few days, and Gabriel Marinescu was arrested and executed in 1940. In 1940, Raffinsky retired from his playing career.
