About the player
A move to England with Bradford City followed, then a return to lower-tier German football with Sonnenhof Großaspach.
Across three seasons there he scored 14 goals in 84 appearances and was part of the squad that won the 3. Liga title in 2020–21, a campaign in which he contributed 5 goals in 28 league matches as the club secured promotion to the 2. Bundesliga.
Brünker joined 1. FC Saarbrücken on a free transfer in 2023, signing a contract until June 2027, scoring 12 goals in 37 league games in his first season. He struck a stoppage-time winner against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals on 12 March 2024, sending Saarbrücken through in a run that had already accounted for Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt. He has continued scoring regularly for Saarbrücken since, with 10 goals in 31 league appearances in the 2025–26 season.
