About the player
Ilker Budinov came up through the Ludogorets Razgrad academy, joining the club's youth setup in 2018. He made his mark instead at Ludogorets II, where he became a fixture in the Second League and passed a hundred appearances between 2018 and 2022, that also brought 14 goals. He did get onto the pitch for the Ludogorets senior side in the league and cup across three seasons, and medals came with that squad membership: First League titles in 2019–20, 2020–21 and 2021–22, plus the 2019 Bulgarian Supercup.
Ludogorets released him at the end of that cycle, and Budinov signed for Hebar Pazardzhik on a free transfer in January 2025, though that spell was brief. He moved on again within months, joining Spartak 1918 Varna in June 2025, where he settled into a regular run of 15 appearances in the 2025/26 season.
From there he has moved to Dunav Ruse on a free transfer. The right-back has not been capped by Bulgaria at any level.
