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]
