He scored his first goal for UTA on 16 September in a 3–0 win against Pandurii Târgu Jiu. He was a utility player during his spell at UTA, playing as a right back, centre back and right midfielder. 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. He made his Divizia A debut on 15 September 2002 in a 0–2 home defeat against Sportul Studenţesc.
