Club career

Manchester United

Brandy was born in Manchester. He was at Manchester United from the age of nine, having been spotted playing for his local team, West End Boys. Having recovered from various injuries, including a broken leg, that ruled him out of much of the 2005-06 season, Brandy was a regular starter in the United reserve team, and scored his first goal for the reserves against Bolton Wanderers in October 2006.

Brandy started up front for United against Liverpool in both legs of the FA Youth Cup final, winning a penalty in the first leg - which Sam Hewson converted - but missing a chance when through on goal in the second leg, which his youth team manager Paul McGuinness described as a "key moment" in the tie which Liverpool won on penalties. Brandy was also the scorer of the only goal in the 2007 Champions Youth Cup final against Juventus.

On 17 January 2008, Swansea City signed Brandy on loan until the end of the 2007-08 season, which was confirmed by United the following morning, and Brandy made his Swansea debut in their match against Port Vale on 19 January 2008, coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute for Paul Anderson.

Brandy returned to Manchester United for pre-season training in July 2008, but was sent out for a second six-month spell on loan at Swansea on 22 July 2008. He returned to Manchester United on 12 January 2009.

On 2 February 2009, Brandy joined Hereford United on a month-long loan deal, subsequently extended until the end of the season. He made his debut for the Bulls on 14 February 2009, and scored the first goal in a 3-2 away win over Cheltenham Town; fellow on-loan Manchester United player Sam Hewson scored Hereford's other two goals. Brandy's four goals in League One made him Hereford's second highest goalscorer for the 2008-09 season.

On 4 November 2009, Brandy joined League One side Gillingham on a two-month loan deal. He scored and was named as Man of the Match on his Gillingham debut, a 3-0 FA Cup first round win over Southend United on 7 November.

At the end of his contract on 30 June 2010, Brandy was allowed to leave Manchester United on a free transfer.

Notts County

On 28 February 2011, after unsuccessful trials with Leicester City and Preston North End, Brandy signed for Notts County until the end of the 2010-11 season. Brandy made four appearances for the club but he was released at the end of that season when his contract was not renewed.

Panetolikos

Brandy spent more than six months as a free agent until, in February 2012, he joined Greek Superleague club Panetolikos on a free transfer, but left the club without appearing for the first-team. After leaving Panetolikos, Brandy says the club didn't pay his wages since his move. On his time with Panetolikos, Brandy stated "I had a call from an agent, who had a club lined up for me in Greece, so I went out there just hoping to play some football... They promised me a house, a car, but I didn't even get a wage in the end, and I had to sleep on a mate's couch...I had to ask them for a bed and some money to live on - not a lot to ask, really... They promised me they would sort it, but they never did and I had to terminate my contract."

Walsall

In July 2012, he went on trial with Walsall, where he impressed enough to earn a permanent contract with the club. Brandy made his debut for Walsall as an 89th-minute substitute in a 1-0 win over Brentford in the first round of League Cup. He then came on for Jamie Paterson in the opening match of the league season, a 3-0 loss against Doncaster Rovers. After the match, Brandy suffered an hamstring injury. After making a slow start without scoring, Brandy finally scored his first goal for the club (and his first goal in English Football since late-2009) in a 2-2 draw against Crawley Town on 17 November 2012. Brandy continued to impress the club when he made a double assist for Jamie Paterson and Will Grigg in a 2-2 draw against Yeovil Town on 15 December 2012. The next match, Brandy soon scored a winner in a 1-0 win over Colchester United; followed up with his second and set up a goal for Paterson, for the third goal, in a 4-2 win over Milton Keynes Dons. His fourth came in Walsall's televised league match on Sky Sports against Portsmouth and set up a goal for Grigg; his fifth came when he scored in a 3-1 win over Bournemouth. Due to his goalscoring form, Brandy said he proved the critics wrong by placing 14th, 14 points clear of the relegation zone.

Sheffield United

On 25 June 2013 Brandy signed for League One club Sheffield United on a two-year contract with the option of a third year. Before signing for the Blades, Brandy claimed that clubs in Russia and the United States were interested in signing him. Brandy made his debut for the Blades in the opening fixture of the following season, in a 2-1 home defeat of Notts County. After initially being a regular starter for the Blades, Brandy picked up two red cards in quick succession in October and November of that year, picking up a seven-match suspension in total. By the time Brandy returned to first-team contention, Nigel Clough had taken over as manager and used Brandy only as an occasional substitute. As United looked to revamp their squad, in January 2014 Brandy was loaned back to former club Walsall for the remainder of the season, playing 20 further matches during his return spell, scoring four goals. On 25 June 2014, Brandy was released by United exactly one year after his signing, and halfway through his two-year contract.

Rotherham United

On 27 June 2014, days after his release from Sheffield United, Brandy joined South Yorkshire rivals Rotherham United of the Championship on a free transfer. After making a single appearance for the Millers, Brandy joined Crewe Alexandra on an initial one-month emergency loan on 17 September 2014, and scored in the club's home win over Coventry City on 11 October. The loan was subsequently extended by a further month. It was announced on 8 January 2015 that Brandy's contract with Rotherham had been terminated by mutual consent.

Rochdale

On 12 January 2015, Brandy signed for Rochdale on a deal until the end of the season. Brandy made his Rochdale debut on 24 February 2015, in a 1-2 defeat against Sheffield United. He played his last match for the club on 3 April 2015, in a 1-0 defeat against Preston North End. He played four times for Rochdale in the league and was released at the end of the season.
