Brady had a fantastic Euro 2016 campaign

Brady joined United’s academy in 2008 and made his first reserve team appearance later that year against Newcastle United. He made his only appearance for the senior team when he came on as an 86th-minute substitute for Alexander Buttner in a 2-1 victory over Newcastle in the third round of the League Cup.

He was loaned out to Hull City in 2011 and spent two years at the club before signing a permanent deal in 2013. However, his spell with the Tigers was not particularly fruitful due to injuries and they were relegated to the Championship at the end of the 2014-15 campaign.

Brady joined newly promoted side Norwich City on a three-year deal, for a reported fee of £7 million in the next season but again faced relegation. The player had an impressive outing with the Republic of Ireland in Euro 2016 and has had a solid start in the Championship so far.

He has scored 3 goals and registered 3 assists so far this season also creating 25 chances in the process. Brady has completed 444 passes this season with a pass accuracy of 73%, of which 84% were forward passes. Norwich are just 3 points away from the play-off places and Brady has played a huge part in their run so far.
