Bruno Ferreira Melo (born 26 October 1992), known as Bruno Melo, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a left back for Coritiba, on loan from Fortaleza.
Born in Paracuru, Ceará, Bruno was a Fortaleza youth graduate. For the 2011 season, he was loaned to Maracanã, and made his senior debut on 7 April of that year by starting in a 1–0 home win against Associação Desportiva São Benedito for the Campeonato Cearense Segunda Divisão championship.
After his loan expired, Bruno returned to Fortaleza and was assigned to the under-20 squad. Ahead of the 2012 campaign, he moved to Quixadá also in a temporary deal; on his debut on 10 March, he scored his team's second in a 2–1 away win against Limoeiro.[1]
After another loan stint at, Bruno returned to Fortaleza and was assigned to the main squad,[2] but failed to make an appearance. In 2014, he served loans at Quixadá,[3] and Uniclinic, winning the third division of the Cearense with the latter.
Returning to Leão, Bruno made his debut for the club on 14 January 2015, starting in a 0–0 away draw against former side Quixadá for the year's Cearense.[4] A backup for his first two seasons, he only started to appear regularly from the 2017 season onwards.
Bruno scored his first goals for Fortaleza on 4 March 2017, netting a brace in a 5–0 home routing of Itapipoca, also for the state league.[5] He was also an undisputed starter for the year's Série C, contributing with six goals as his side returned to Série B after a nine-year absence; highlights included doubles in a 2–0 away win against Botafogo-PB and in a 2–2 draw at Sampaio Corrêa.
On 30 November 2017, Bruno renewed his contract until 2020.[6] He made his debut in the second division the following 14 April, starting in a 2–1 home defeat of Guarani.
