Marciano Bruma (born as Marciano van Homoet on 7 March 1984) is a Dutch footballer who currently plays for XerxesDZB in the Dutch Hoofdklasse.
Bruma is a defender who made his debut in professional football as part of the Sparta Rotterdam squad in the 2004–05 season.
Van Homoet was signed by Barnsley on 8 June 2007. 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. He then excelled in the subsequent quarter-final victory against Chelsea 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.
He was released in July 2009 when his contract expired. He then signed a deal with Dutch side Willem II.
He signed a two-year contract with Polish club Arka Gdynia on 9 July 2010. He was released from Arka Gdynia on 30 June 2011.
