Bruno has told “complete” defender Lewis Dunk the key to long-term success is all in the head.
The Albion skipper reckons Dunk has all the tools to go a long way in the game.
But he says he has done “nothing” yet and a rock solid mental approach will decide how far he progresses.
Dunk has earned rave reviews recently, notably last Saturday in the 2-1 win at Hillsborough.
He is following from a distance as sidekick Shane Duffy plays international football with the Republic of Ireland this weekend.
Bruno, pictured above, told The Argus: “Dunky is a top player and now we have seen they are both really good in the air.
“We are keeping a lot of clean sheets.*Dunky is still improving every day.

Bruno, a former defensive team-mate of current Barcelona duo Jordi Alba and Jeremy Mathieu, Portuguese star Ricardo Costa and French international Adil Rami, says mental steel is key.
He added: “As a centre-back, Dunky is the complete player.*He has got everything. He’s good in the air, he’s good with the ball, he’s quick, he’s powerful.
“Now that means it is just about him.
“If he keeps showing that strong mentality and keeps working so hard, he is going to be one the best centre-backs.”
