Brandon was born on February 4, 1995 in Santanyi<\/strong>, Mallorca<\/strong>, to a Spanish<\/strong> mother and an English<\/strong> father. His football skills earned him a place in the Mallorca<\/strong> Academies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In December<\/strong> 2012<\/strong>, without having even yet having played in the second team, he got a baptism of fire in professional football in a game against Sevilla<\/strong> in the Copa Del Rey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Three days later he made his league debut, and on January 9 he scored his first goal in a game against Sevilla<\/strong>. He established himself in the senior men’s team in 2015-16 when Mallorca were competing in La Liga 2<\/strong>, with the forward making 29 appearances, scoring six goals and contributing three assists.<\/p>\n

In the following season, again in the second division, he improved his numbers even further with 13 goals and four assists in 40 games, with his team, however, being relegated.<\/p>\n

Rennes<\/strong> were convinced of his talent and invested in him by making him a resident of Brittany<\/strong> in July 2017. In France<\/strong> in 12 games, he scored one goal and provided one assist. In the 2018\u201319 season he was loaned to Osasuna<\/strong> in the Segunda<\/strong> Division<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Back in a familiar environment, Brandon<\/strong> again found his good form and contributed the most for the Pamplona<\/strong> team to win the championship and promotion. He then joined Osasuna<\/strong> on a permanent transfer, but he only remained there for another six months as in January 2020 he was loaned out to Girona<\/strong>, where he was unlucky.<\/p>\n

A serious knee injury kept him out of action for almost a year and when he returned he was loaned to Leganes<\/strong> and then ended up in Malaga<\/strong> as a free agent.<\/p>\n

In the 2021-22<\/strong> season he rediscovered his form, and had a full season with 41 matches, scoring nine times, and providing two assists to help his team to avoid relegation.<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2022<\/strong>, he was looking for a new challenge in his career and after being released by Malaga<\/strong>, he accepted PAOK’s offer.<\/p>\n
