Career

Brøndby

First team

On 25 October 2017, Bruus signed his first professional contract with Brøndby IF, a two-and-a-half-year deal tying him to the club until the summer of 2019. He was included in the first team squad from 1 January 2018.
He made his Brøndby debut at the age of 18 when he was brought on for the final ten minutes in the 2–2 home draw against AGF on 10 December 2017.

Loan to Roskilde

Bruus signed a new three-year contract on 31 August 2018 with Brøndby before joining Danish second tier club FC Roskilde on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season. He scored four goals in 24 appearances during his spell, including a brace against Nykøbing FC in a 5–0 away win.

Return to Brøndby

Bruus returned to Brøndby after his loan, but failed to make any appearances during the fall of the 2019–20 season under new manager Niels Frederiksen.
In January 2020, he appeared as a right wing-back in friendlies against BK Avarta and Hvidovre IF indicating a new, more defensive role for him in Brøndby. He continued in this role in friendlies against Lyngby and Hvidovre, and was called up for the first team in their first match, after the COVID-19 pandemic had suspended the competition, on 2 June 2020 for the match against SønderjyskE. Bruus came on as a substitute for an injured Kevin Mensah with 20 minutes remaining. On 19 July, Bruus signed a new contract to keep him at the club until 2023, after having established himself as a starter at the right wing-back position in head coach Frederiksen's 3–5–2 formation.
