Vitesse

On 10 April 2017, it was announced that Bruns would join Vitesse on a free transfer, at the end of the 2016–17 campaign upon the expiry of his current contract at Heracles.[6]

FC Groningen

On 24 December 2018, it was announced that Bruns would join fellow Eredivisie side Groningen on loan for the remainder of the campaign as of 1 January 2019.[7]

Adanaspor

On 12 August 2021, he joined Adanaspor in Turkey on a two-year contract.[8]
