Career

He's got such a good understanding, learns quickly, and asks questions. It was nice to get him on the pitch because he deserved that".[10]

On 31 July 2024, Bragg signed a one-year contract extension with Southampton and joined Crawley Town on a season-long loan.[11] He made his debut for the club on 10 August 2024 in a 2–1 victory against Blackpool.[12]
