Club career

Collegiate soccer

Born in Madrid, Spain, Bravo began his career in the academy of Atlético Madrid, before a stint with Irish side Greystones United.[1] He returned to Spain, spending time with amateur side Villanueva del Pardillo, as well as Rayo Majadahonda and Leganés, before joining the academy of Alcorcón.[1] [2] He left Alcorcón to move to the United States in 2018, enrolling at the Iona University, where he joined their soccer team: the Gaels.[1] In 2020, he transferred to the Florida International University, where he played for the Panthers.[3]

Professional career

Following his senior year, he was offered a contract with MLS Next Pro side Orlando City B.[4] However, after less than a year with the club, he left for Greece, joining Irodotos of the Super League Greece 2.[5] Following one appearance for Irodotos, he was released by the club in January 2023.[6] Later in the same month, he moved to Bahrain, signing for Al-Riffa, where he would go on to score one goal, in a 7–0 win against Al-Budaiya.[7] [8] He left Al-Riffa following the expiration of his contract in July 2023.[9]

In August 2023, Bravo was reported to have signed a professional contract with Brazilian Série B side Londrina.[10] The move was made official two weeks later, with Bravo signing a deal until the end of the 2023 season.[11] Following two appearances, Bravo left the club following the expiration of his contract, returning to Spain, but stating that he would "definitely go back [to Brazil]" if offered the chance.[9]

In January 2024, Bravo returned to Brazil, joining Amazonas.[12]
