Club career

edit

Bronn was signed by Niort in the summer of 2016, initially as a reserve team player on an amateur contract. However, first team manager Denis Renaud gave Bronn the chance to play in three of the side's pre-season friendly matches. His performances in these games led Renaud to hand Bronn his professional debut on 29 July 2016 in the 0–0 draw with RC Lens on the first matchday of the year at the Stade René Gaillard.[2] Over the course of the 2016–17 season, he became a regular starter for the first team, forming a central defensive partnership with Jérémy Choplin. On 18 October 2016, Bronn was given a three-year professional contract by Niort.[3]

Bronn joined Belgian First Division A side K.A.A. Gent in 2017. He was elected best player of the season of KAA Gent for the 2018–19 season.[citation needed]

He joined FC Metz in 2020.

On 12 August 2022, Bronn signed a three-year contract with Salernitana in Italy.[4] On 14 February 2024, Bronn was loaned by Servette in Switzerland.[5]

International career

edit

Bronn was born in France, and is Tunisian by descent through his mother, and German through his father. Bronn was called up to the Tunisia national team in March 2017.[6][7] He won his first cap for Tunisia in a friendly match against Morocco on 28 March 2017, playing the whole match in a 1–0 defeat.[8]

In June 2018 he was named in Tunisia's final 23-man squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.[9][10]
