He was a utility player during his spell at UTA, playing as a right back,^[3] centre back and right midfielder.^[4] Buhuş played a significant role in the 2001–02 season as UTA secured promotion to the top-flight for the first time since 1995. He also scored one goal during the season against Jiul Petroşani on 17 November 2001.^[5] He made his Divizia A debut on 15 September 2002 in a 0–2 home defeat against Sportul Studenţesc.^[6] He failed to make an impact, playing only once in the season, in which UTA eventually dropped back to the second division.

He spent one year at Jiul Petroşani during 2003-04.

In June 2004, Buhuş went on a trial with Divizia A side Universitatea Craiova.^[7] He signed a three-year contract with Universitatea Craiova on 30 June.^[8] He made his unofficial debut for Craiova on 9 July in a friendly match against LASK Linz coming in as a substitute for Aurelian Dumitru at the half-time.^[9] Buhuş made his league debut for Craiova against Gaz Metan Mediaş on 1 August,^[10] being handed the no. 15 jersey.^[11] On 11 September, during a match against CFR Cluj, Craiova came back from a two-goal deficit to win the match with 3–2, with Buhuş scoring the equalizer.^[12]

He was one of the best players, in the first season, and he was also one of the 7 players who were confirmed and in the next season. In October 2006, he was named captain by Gheorghe Multescu. At the beginning of 2007/2008 season, there were rumours that he would retire from football, but he said that he would like to fulfill his contract. In the same year, he lost his captaincy for Sorin Frunza and Bogdan Panait, but in the end of the season, he was once again the captain of the team.
