Bruno Saltor Grau (born 1 October 1980), known simply as Bruno, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right back for English club Brighton & Hove Albion.
He appeared in 128 La Liga games during six seasons, representing mainly in the competition Almería and Valencia. In 2012 he signed with Brighton & Hove Albion, going on to spend several years with the English club.
Born in El Masnou, Barcelona, Catalonia, Bruno was a product of RCD Espanyol's youth system. He only appeared once for the first team, playing eight minutes in a 3–1 home win over Rayo Vallecano on 29 September 2001; he was almost exclusively used by the B-side during his tenure, spending three of his four years in Segunda División B.
After a further two stints in his native region, with Gimnàstic de Tarragona (loan) and UE Lleida, Bruno joined UD Almería in the 2006 summer, being instrumental in the Andalusia side's first ever promotion to La Liga as a late bloomer. In 2007–08, he only missed four league games as his team overachieved for a final eighth place, and produced similar numbers in the following season.
