Jordy Bruijn (born 23 July 1996) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Eredivisie club Heracles Almelo.

Career

Ajax

Bruijn is a youth exponent from Ajax. He made his professional debut with Jong Ajax on 6 November 2015 in an Eerste Divisie game against MVV Maastricht replacing Milan Vissie after 75 minutes. After suffering several injuries, he played one match for Jong Ajax in the 2015–16 season.

Heerenveen

In May 2016, Bruijn signed a one-year deal with SC Heerenveen.

Loan to NEC

On 31 January 2019, it was announced that Bruijn was sent on loan to NEC Nijmegen for the remainder of the season. A day later, he made his debut in the 4–1 won home win against Jong FC Utrecht. On 23 February, he scored his first goal for NEC in the 5–0 home win over Almere City. He made an impression during his loan period, where he made 16 appearances and scored twice.

NEC

After barely playing after his return to Heerenveen, he made a permanent move to NEC in the summer of 2020. He signed a three-year contract in Nijmegen. There, he immediately became a starter, in a two-man midfield where Édgar Barreto, Javier Vet and Dirk Proper also fought for playing time. In the absence of Rens van Eijden, Bruijn was team captain of the club. On 23 May 2021, Bruijn won promotion with NEC to the Eredivisie, by beating NAC Breda 2–1 in the final of the play-offs. In the play-offs that season, Bruijn had been an important factor, scoring a goal and providing two assists.

Safa

On 2 July 2023, Bruijn joined Safa in the Lebanese Premier League on a one-year contract.

Heracles Almelo

In January 2024, Bruijn returned to the Netherlands, joining Eredivisie club Heracles Almelo on a two-and-a-half-year contract.
