Cristian Bud

Following the success at Liberty, in 2009–2010 season, Bud signed a two years contract with Gaz Metan Mediaș for a fee of 500,000 Euro, becoming their most expensive ever player.

Not being able to accommodate himself with the life in Hungary, Bud decided to end the contract by mutual consent going back to Gaz Metan Medias.

After ending its contract with Pandurii Targu Jiu, Bud signed a three-year deal with the Moldovan Champions Milsami Orhei.

In his first season, he made 20 appearances for the club and managed to eliminate Ludogorets Razgrad in the second qualifying round of the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League and winning the Moldovan Championship.

After two successful seasons in Moldova, Bud signed with his former team CFR Cluj becoming the club's top scorer with 16 goals in 41 appearances.
