MVV Maastricht
Nevertheless, he chose to play for Dutch Jupiler League club MVV Maastricht, signing a four-year contract on 23 June 2008.[12] It was a hectic transfer-season for Brüls, as Trabzonspor had signed him first.[13] After some negotiations between MVV Maastricht and Trabzonspor, Brüls had permission to play for the Dutch side.
Brüls made his MVV Maastricht debut in the opening game of the season, making his first start, in a 0–0 draw against PEC Zwolle.[14] Two weeks later on 22 August 2008, he set up two goals, in a 3-1 win over Helmond Sport.[15] Brüls scored his first MVV Maastricht goal on 31 October 2008, in a 3-2 win over AGOVV Apeldoorn.[16] Brüls scored two more goals later in the season against Zwolle, as well as, providing a hat-trick assists[17] and Dordrecht.[18] Despite suffering from an injury,[19] Brüls finished his first season at the club, making thirty-seven appearance and scoring three times in all competition.
