About Chris Brandon

  • Christopher William Brandon (born 7 April 1976) is an English professional footballer who last played in Thailand for BEC Tero Sasana.
  • He is a midfielder who has played more than 300 games during his professional career, which did not start until he was aged 23.
  • After he was released by Bradford City's youth academy as a youngster he followed a non-league career with Bradford Park Avenue, Farsley Celtic and Stafford Rangers. He became a professional in 1999 with Division Three side Torquay United.
  • Torquay were aiming for promotion during Brandon's first season with the club, but they finished two places outside the Division Three play-offs.
  • He only played two games the following season because of a stomach tear, and upon his return Torquay were instead battling against relegation from The Football League, and Brandon left after three seasons with the club.
  • He moved up a division and played for two years with Chesterfield, where he picked up a number of individual awards but spent two seasons fighting against relegation.
  • In 2004, he joined Huddersfield Town where he twice narrowly missed out on promotion.
  • He had a short spell on loan with Blackpool, helping them to the promotion play-offs.
  • However, after a permanent move failed to materialise he returned to Huddersfield for a fourth season.
  • When he was released by new manager Stan Ternent after four years with the club, he rejoined Bradford City, but had two injury-hit seasons before being released early from his contract.
  • At the start of the following year, he moved to Thailand to join BEC Tero Sasana.
