After starting out at a local team in Villa Rita, Lomas de Zamora, Bravo later joined the academy of Banfield; having previously had trials with Vélez Sarsfield, Lanús and Los Andes.[4] At senior level, he was an unused substitute once during the 2016 Primera División season, which preceded his professional debut arriving on 24 September 2017 as Banfield put four unanswered goals past Rosario Central away from home.[1] [5] Eight further appearances followed in 2017–18.[1] He featured in continental football for the first time in July 2018, playing the full duration of a second stage first leg loss to Boston River.[1] [6] He was sent off in his last match for the club on 4 December 2020 versus Rosario Central.[1]
On 17 December 2020, Bravo joined Major League Soccer club Portland Timbers for an undisclosed fee.[7] Bravo underwent a successful surgery on his right knee in January 2024.[8]
In November 2015, Bravo was selected to train with the Argentina U20s under manager Humberto Grondona.[9] September 2019 saw Bravo receive a call-up to the U23s for a friendly with Bolivia.[10] For the latter, Bravo appeared six times at the 2020 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament; which they won.[1] [11]
