Career
editBorn in Detroit, Michigan, Bruce began his career with English Football League club Colchester United.[1] He made his debut for the first-team aged 18 in a 2–1 home defeat to Cambridge United on 10 November 1989.[2] He scored his only professional goal for the club and the only goal of the game in a victory over Grimsby Town on 20 February 1990.[3] Bruce made 29 league appearances for Colchester in the 1989–90 season, but could not help the club avoid relegation from the Football League to the Football Conference.[4] He made four appearances in the Conference, and played his final game for the U's in a 2–0 Conference League Cup defeat to Sutton United on 26 February 1991.[5]
Following his exit from Colchester, Bruce teamed up with non-league outfits Baldock Town and Hemel Hempstead Town.[1]
