Born in Ścinawa, Rudy started his career in football with Odra Ścinawa (1981–83). He debuted professionally with Śląsk Wrocław (1983–88), then switched to GKS Katowice (1988–89).

Between 1986–98, Rudy received 16 caps for the Poland national football team (three goals).

As a manager, Rudy worked with Borussia Fulda (2003 as a playing manager and 2004 as a normal manager^[2]), Bonner SC (2004–05) and TSC Euskirchen (2007–08), returning in the next season to 1. FC Köln, to work within the youth system.
