Early career

edit

Bramble joined the Williamstown Football Club after failing to get drafted from the Calder Cannons.[1] After playing 11 games and kicking 4 goals for the VFL Seagulls in 2017 and 2018, he returned to his home club Sunbury in 2019 and played in the Ballarat Football League. In 2020 he returned to Williamstown but the Covid pandemic meant that football was cancelled for the year. He opted to go to Box Hill for the 2021 pre-season, where he impressed Hawthorn recruiters and was selected in the pre-season supplemental selection period.

AFL career

edit

Bramble debuted for Hawthorn in round 14 of the 2021 AFL season against Essendon at UTAS Stadium.[2]

Bramble had an interrupted 2022 when he suffered a foot fracture during the pre-season.

Bramble made his debut for the Western Bulldogs in round 1 of the 2024 AFL season against Melbourne at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
