Buhrer scored his first two tries in round 4 of the 2011 season against the South Sydney Rabbitohs, where he was playing at centre.[8] He played off the interchange bench in Manly's 2011 NRL Grand Final win over the New Zealand Warriors.[9] Later on that month, he re-signed with the Manly club on a three-year contract until the end of 2014.[10]

In May, Buhrer returned to the New South Wales City side.[14] In September, he tore his anterior cruciate ligament, ruling him out for the rest of the season.[15] Later on that month, he re-signed with the Manly outfit on a three-year contract until the end of 2017.[16]

Upon joining the Newcastle club, Buhrer formed part of the leadership group of the playing roster. He made his debut for Newcastle in round 1 of the 2017 season against the New Zealand Warriors.
