Bruno Saltor Grau (born 1 October 1980 in El Masnou, Barcelona, Catalonia), simply Bruno, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Valencia CF in La Liga, as a right defender.

Football career

A product of RCD Espanyol's youth system, Bruno would only appear once for the first team, on 29 September 2001, playing seven minutes in a 3–1 home win over Rayo Vallecano. He was almost exclusively used by the B side, spending three of his four years in Segunda División B.

After stints in the Catalonia region (Gimnàstic de Tarragona (loan) and UE Lleida), Bruno joined UD Almería in 2006, being instrumental in the Andalusia side's first ever promotion to La Liga as a late bloomer. In 2007–08, he only missed four league contests as his team overachieved for a final 8th place, and produced similar numbers in the following season.

In mid-June 2009, Bruno signed a three-year deal with Valencia CF, reuniting with former Almería manager Unai Emery. He had previously arranged a transfer to Real Betis, but the move collapsed, as the club was eventually relegated.
