Club career[]

Charleroi[]

Born in Boussu, Belgium, Bruno started his football career at RSB Frameries before he moved to Mons.[2] Bruno joined Anderlecht when he was eight years old.[2] Bruno was progressing well at the club until he suffered "a growth spurt and was injured in the heel" and was sidelined for four months.[2] After making a recovery from his injury, however, Anderlecht released Bruno and he returned to Mons.[2] Bruno then joined Charleroi, where he would begin his professional career.[2] After progressing through the ranks at the club, Bruno was part of the squad for two league matches in November 2010, each time as an unused substitute.[3][4][5] On 23 March 2011, he finally made his professional debut – and only appearance of the 2010–11 season – in a 3–0 loss to Cercle Brugge.[6]

Anderlecht[]

On 23 May 2011, Bruno signed a three-year deal with Anderlecht, where he had previously played in the youth system.[7][8] However, in his first season at the club, Bruno failed to appear in the first team and was featured in the club's reserves instead.[9][10]

Ahead of the 2012–13 season, Bruno signed his first professional contract with Anderlecht.[11] On 12 August 2012, he made his debut for the club, coming on as a 85th minute substitute, in a 3–0 win against Cercle Brugge.[12] On 28 August, coming off the bench, Bruno gave the assist for the winning goal against AEL Limassol, securing Anderlecht's place in the UEFA Champions League group stage.[11][13] On 2 September 2012, he scored his first professional goal in a 2–2 draw against Genk.[14] On 20 November, he signed a contract extension with Anderlecht, keeping him at the club until 2017.[15] Anderlecht went on to win the Belgian Pro League following a 1–1 against title contender, Zulte Waregem on the last matchday of the season.[16] Bruno finished the season with 44 appearances and scoring 8 goals in all competitions.[1]

In the Belgian Super Cup, Bruno scored the only goal of the game, in a 1–0 win over Genk to help Anderlecht win the cup.[17] He started the 2013–14 season well by scoring five goals in the first month, including a brace against Cercle Brugge.[18] Despite suffering minor setbacks throughout the season, Bruno finished as Anderlecht's joint top-scorer along with Aleksandar Mitrović with 16 goals in all competitions as the club won the Pro League again.[19][20]

RB Leipzig[]

Red Bull Salzburg (loan)[]

In June 2014, Bruno signed for RB Leipzig in the 2. Bundesliga and was immediately loaned to sister club Red Bull Salzburg for the 2014–15 season.[21] He made his debut for Red Bull Salzburg, coming on as a substitute in the 66th minute and setting up the ninth goal of the game for the club, in a 10–1 win over 1. SC Sollenau in the first round of the Austrian Cup.[22] Bruno scored his first goal for the club in the last minute of the 2–0 win against SV Ried on 2 August 2014.[23] In his single season with the club, Bruno helped Salzburg to the domestic double, recording 39 total appearances and scoring eight goals.[24][25] Following his season with Red Bull Salzburg, it was announced that Bruno would be returning to RB Leipzig.[26][27]

FSV Mainz 05 in the UEFA Europa League.[34] On 18 May 2017, he came on as a 77th minute substitute and scored Anderlecht's third goal of the game to win 3–1 over Charleroi, which helped the club to the Pro League title for the first time in three years.[35] Despite missing one match because of injury, Bruno made 39 appearances and scored six goals in all competitions during his first loan spell at Anderlecht.[36]
