Club career
Jamaica
Bryan began his professional career in the KSAFA Super League in 2005 with Rae Town.[1] His stint with Rae Town lasted for three months as he was transferred to Police Nationals during the winter transfer window.[1] In the summer of 2006, he played in the Jamaican top-tier league by signing with Harbour View.[2] In his debut season in the national league, he finished second in the scoring charts with 17 goals and assisted the club in securing the championship.[3][4]
He re-signed with Harbour View the following season and contributed a goal in the quarterfinal match of the 2007 CFU Club Championship tournament against Portmore United.[5] He also played in the finals match of the Caribbean tournament where Harbour View defeated Joe Public for the championship.[6] In his third season with Harbour View, he appeared in the opening round of the 2008–09 CONCACAF Champions League where they were defeated by Club Universidad Nacional.[7][8]
In April 2009, he played abroad in Norway's 1. divisjon on a loan deal to Notodden FK.[9] After a season in Scandinavia, he returned to the Jamaican top tier to resume play with Harbour View for the 2009-10 season.[10][11] Throughout the season he helped the Kingston-based club secure another league title.[12] He returned for his fifth season with the club the following year.[13] Though he had a shortened season in Jamaica, he returned to finish the 2010-11 campaign once his loan deal ended around November 2011.[14]
Vietnam
His fifth season with Harbour View was shortened as he was loaned out abroad to the Vietnamese's V.League 1 for Sông Lam Nghệ An.[15][16] The club went on to claim the league title.[17][18][19] He also played in the 2011 AFC Cup where he recorded 3 goals in 3 appearances.[20] In May 2011, Bryan broke his fibula while playing for Sông Lam Nghệ An.[21] After failing to come to terms with Song Lam Nghe An he departed after the conclusion of the season.[22]
He returned to Vietnam for the 2012 season where he secured a deal with Vicem Hai Phong.[23] This tenure with Hai Phong only lasted a single season as he departed from the club the following year.[24] Bryan would return to his former team Sông Lam Nghệ An in 2013.[25] He would appear in 22 matches and record 8 goals throughout the season.[7] For the 2014 season, he signed with Vissai Ninh Bình.[26] During his stint with Vissai Ninh Binh, he had another run in the Asian continental tournament.[27]
In May 2014, Bryan left Vissai Ninh Bình for V.League 2 side Hanoi after the club was dissolved due to a match-fixing scandal.[28] In 2016, he returned to Vietnam for a trial run with Dong Thap.[29][30]
In 2017, he played in the Canadian Soccer League with York Region Shooters.[31] In 2018, he signed with Scarborough SC after York Region failed to feature a team for the 2018 season.[32] In 2019, he assisted in securing the CSL Championship after defeating FC Ukraine United.[33]
International career
Bryan was named to the Jamaican Olympic Team by head coach Wendell Downswell to participate in the 2007 Lunar New Year Cup.[34]
He was called up to the senior national team to face Switzerland in a friendly match in 2007.[35] He officially made his international debut on March 22, 2007, coming on as a substitute in the match against Switzerland.[36][37] Bryan was originally selected to represent the national team in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup but withdrew after sustaining a leg injury while playing with Sông Lam Nghệ An.[1][38]
