Career

Brunes hails from Bryne and played once for Bryne FK in the 2018 Second Division, as well as a playoff match for the 2019 First Division.

In 2023 Brunes moved to Eastern Norway, to Kolbotn IL, where by the end of the year she had served as team captain. The following year she reentered the Norway national teams, playing for Norway U23. She left Kolbotn in 2025 for Danish club Brøndby IF, being loaned out to LSK Kvinner for the first half of 2025.[5]
