Bruno Silva

Bruno Ramón Silva Barone (born 29 March 1980 in Cerro Largo), is a Uruguayan former footballer who played as a defensive right back. During his career he played for Danubio in Uruguay, FC Rostov in Russia, FC Groningen and AFC Ajax in the Netherlands, as well as Internacional in Brazil, with whom he won the 2010 Copa Libertadores. While he is recovering from a severe shoulder injury, a return to football seems unlikely and may force Silva into early retirement.
