Marciano van Homoet Bruma (born Marciano van Homoet; 7 March 1984) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a defender for Derde Klasse club Zwarte Pijl [nl].

Club career[edit]

Barnsley[edit]

Van Homoet was signed by Barnsley on 8 June 2007.[3] He was originally known as Bruma, but was forced to change his name in September 2007, by the FA when Barnsley sent in his registration, after he completed a successful trial period with them at the start of the season.

When he broke his hand he had a plate screwed onto his second metacarpal in an hour-long surgery, the plate is a permanent attachment and can not be removed.

After breaking a bone in his hand during pre-season, Van Homoet made his Barnsley debut in December 2007 against Sheffield United.

During his first season at Oakwell, he played as a substitute in the memorable win over Premier League side Liverpool in the 2007-08 FA Cup.[4] He then excelled in the subsequent quarter-final victory against Chelsea[5] and also played at Wembley in the Semi-Final against Cardiff City.

His second season with the Oakwell outfit did not get off to a very good start; getting himself sent off in the first match of the 2008/09 season vs Queens Park Rangers.

Willem II[edit]

He was released in July 2009 when his contract expired. He then signed a deal with Dutch side Willem II.[6]

Arka Gdynia[edit]

He signed a two-year contract with Polish club Arka Gdynia on 9 July 2010.[7] He was released from Arka Gdynia on 30 June 2011.[8]

Lech Poznań[edit]

On 18 August 2011 Bruma signed a one-year contract with Polish side Lech Poznań,[9] only to leave them after one year for Dutch amateur side Rijnsburgse Boys.[10]

He was snapped up by Excelsior Maassluis in summer 2014[11] and left them for Hoofdklasse club XerxesDZB in 2016.[12]

Personal life[edit]

Marciano is the older brother of VfL Wolfsburg player Jeffrey Bruma.

He had always been known as Marciano Bruma in the Netherlands, after dropping his father’s surname as a young child when his parents split up. But the FA insisted he should use the name on his birth certificate, so in England he played as Marciano van Homoet. [13]
