Club career

Born in Vila do Conde, Vítor Bruno began his youth career at F.C. Famalicão before joining FC Porto. He was loaned to fourth division club C.D. Candal, where he made his professional debut in the 2009–10 season.

After a year in the third level with G.D. Ribeirão, Vítor Bruno signed for F.C. Penafiel of the Segunda Liga in 2011. He was part of their squad that won promotion to the Primeira Liga in 2013–14, and scored once the following campaign, equalising in a 2–3 away loss against Sporting CP on 9 March 2015.[1]

On 31 May 2015, after Penafiel were relegated in last place, Vítor Bruno and teammate Dani Coelho signed three-year contracts at CFR Cluj in Romania's Liga I.[2] Joined by compatriots including manager Toni Conceição, he won the Cupa României in his only season with a penalty shootout victory over FC Dinamo București on 17 May 2016.[3]

Vítor Bruno returned to his country's top flight in June 2016, agreeing to a three-year deal at C.D. Feirense.[4] The following off-season, however, he moved to Boavista F.C. on a two-year contract,[5] but returned to his former club halfway through.[6]

In April 2019, after already-relegated Feirense lost 4–1 at home to eventual champions S.L. Benfica, Vítor Bruno wrote a lengthy publication on Facebook lamenting the quality of his team's play.[7] He became a free agent subsequently, and signed a one-year deal with second-tier Leixões S.C. that August.[8]
