Career

==Youth==
Born in Greve Strand, Bruus joined the Brøndby IF youth academy in 2005. He combined this with education at first Krogårdsskolen in his hometown of Greve, and later secondary school at Albertslund Gymnasium together with fellow Brøndby talents Casper Hauervig and Christian Enemark.{{cite web |last1=Erlitz |first1=Peter |title=Fodbold og uddannelse i superligaklasse |url=https://sn.dk/Vestegnen/Fodbold-og-uddannelse-i-superligaklasse/artikel/721297 |website=sn.dk |publisher=Sjællandske Nyheder |accessdate=20 September 2020 |language=Danish |date=2 February 2018 |quote=Det er tilfældet for 18-årige Casper Hauervig fra Ishøj, samt for Andreas Bruus fra Greve og Christian Enemark fra Køge, der begge netop er fyldt 19 år. »Det er jo noget, man skal igennem. Det kan nogle gange være tungt, men det skal jo gøres,« lyder det fra de tre unge Brøndby-spillere om skole og lektier. Casper, Andreas og Christian går på Albertslund Gymnasium, hvor man har oprettet en særlig Team Danmark-linje på HF.}}
On 25 October 2017, Bruus signed his first professional contract with Brøndby IF, a two-and-a-half-year deal which tied him to the club until the summer of 2019.
