He took 20 wickets at a bowling average of 13.20, with two five-wicket hauls, both in 1872.[3][4] In non-first-class cricket he made 30 appearances for Cheltenham College, Birkenhead Park and Somerset. He also served in the armed forces, stationed in Winchester.[5][6] In August 1875 he changed his surname from Brice to Bruce, and scorecards after that date record his new surname.[5]
