Budnyi returned to the United States in early 2009, and joined Carolina RailHawks of the USL First Division in April 2009. On 22 July 2009, the RailHawks sent him on loan for one game to the Wilmington Hammerheads of the USL Second Division. [4] On 22 February 2010 Carolina announced the re-signing of Budnyi to a new contract for the 2010 season. [5]
