Signe Kallesøe Bruun (born 6 April 1998) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a striker for French Division 1 Féminine club Lyon and the Denmark national team.[1][2]
Club career[edit]
Bruun joined Fortuna Hjørring from IK Skovbakken in 2014.[3] She made her Fortuna debut on 16 August 2014 and scored twice in a 5–1 Elitedivisionen win over Vejle.[4] On 8 November 2014, Bruun made her UEFA Women’s Champions League debut as a 74th minute substitute for Nadia Nadim in a 2–1 round of 16 defeat to Swedish team FC Rosengård.[5] In 2016, Bruun won the 2015–16 Elitedivisionen and Danish Women’s Cup double with Fortuna.
On 31 August 2018, Fortuna confirmed the transfer of Bruun to French D1 Féminine club Paris Saint-Germain.[6] In her debut season, Bruun made 17 appearances in all competitions, scoring four goals. In June 2019, Bruun suffered an ACL injury that kept her out for a year.[7] She made her competitive comeback in the delayed Coupe de France semi-final on 2 August 2020, scoring an 84th minute winner in a 2–1 win against Bordeaux.[8] Seven days later she appeared as a substitute in the cup final against Lyon. The game finished goalless after extra-time. Bruun scored during the penalty shootout but PSG lost 4–3.[9] Later that month, Bruun appeared as a 74th minute substitute during the delayed 2019–20 UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal. She scored three minutes later, the winning goal in the single-legged 2–1 win.[10] The following season, Bruun won the 2020–21 Division 1 Féminine title with PSG, the club’s first league title, ending Lyon’s 14-year streak at the top in the process.[11]
In June 2021, Bruun joined Lyon.[12]
On 27 January 2022, Bruun made a deadline day move to English FA Women’s Super League club Manchester United on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[13] The spell was marred by injury, limiting Bruun to seven appearances in all competitions in which she failed to score a goal for the club.[14]
International career[edit]
Youth[edit]
Bruun played as a youth international for Denmark at under-16, under-17, under-19 and under-23 level. She finished as top scorer during 2015 UEFA Women’s Under-17 Championship qualification, scoring 10 overall. The total included eight in a qualifying round match against Kazakhstan on 18 October 2014. It equalled the competition record for goals in a single match set by Vivianne Miedema against the same opposition in 2012.[15] In 2015, having scored in three matches during qualifying, Bruun was selected to represent Denmark at the 2015 UEFA Women’s Under-19 Championship held in Israel. She appeared in all three matches as Denmark were eliminated at the group stage.
Senior[edit]
On 24 October 2017, Bruun debuted for the senior Denmark national team in a 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifier against Croatia.[16] She entered play two minutes into stoppage time as a substitute for Nadia Nadim and scored her first goal two minutes later in Denmark’s 4–0 victory.[17] In 2021, Bruun went on a run of scoring in six consecutive matches for Denmark, scoring 12 goals in total all during 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup qualification.
