Club career

Brisbane Roar

Brady made his first appearance as a second-half substitute in the Roar's 4–0 win over Newcastle Jets in Round 6 of the 2014–15 season. On 30 March 2015 after 4 appearances in the A-League, Brady signed a 4-year deal with Brisbane Roar.

Brady scored the opening goal in the Young Roar's 3–1 win over Western Sydney Wanderers Youth in the 2019 Y-League Grand Final, the first time the Roar have won the competition. For his performance, he was named as man of the match.

On 11 March 2019, after 5 years at the club, Brady left the Brisbane Roar after terminating his contract by mutual consent.

Gold Coast Knights

On 13 March 2019, Brady signed a two-month contract with Gold Coast Knights as an injury replacement for defender Eoghan Murphy. Brady made his first appearance on 16 March 2019 against Gold Coast United in the first edition of the Gold Coast Derby, replacing Nicholas Panetta in the 84th minute as the two sides played out a 1–1 draw. He scored his first goal for the Knights in a 6–1 victory over Brisbane Strikers on 22 March 2019, bagging a second-half brace and assisting Jarrod Kyle's goal. He followed this up 5 days later by scoring on his maiden league start, his cross finding the back of the net in a 3–0 win over his former side Brisbane Roar Youth. On 20 July 2019, Brady scored the winner in a 2–1 win over SWQ Thunder to make it 3 goals from 3 starts in his Knights career. For his performance, he was named in the Team of the Week. He was an unused sub as the Knights defeated Olympic FC 2–1 in the 2019 NPL Queensland Grand Final, claiming their first piece of top-flight silverware in their inaugural campaign.

Brisbane City

On 23 January 2020, Brady joined Brisbane City on a one-year contract for the 2020 NPL Queensland season. He made his debut in City's 2–1 win over Brisbane Strikers in Round 3, playing the full game and providing the assist for Jean Carlos Solórzano's winner. A week later, he again assisted Solorzano’s goal, the opener in a 1–1 draw with Magpies Crusaders at Sologinkin Oval. Brady scored his first goal for City in a 2-0 win over Brisbane Roar Youth on 16 August 2020. He scored in consecutive weeks when he found the back of the net against Capalaba FC, bagging his side's second as they secured a 3-2 victory. Brady took his season assist tally to eight when he assisted both goals in a Round 10 clash with the then table-topping Gold Coast Knights, playing out a 2-2 draw in Carrara. On 12 September 2020, he assisted Alex Simmons' equalizer before scoring an 84th minute consolation goal as City were beaten 3-2 by Redlands United at CTM Stadium. Brady started in their relegation decider against Olympic on 15 November 2020, scoring his side's first before assisting Matt Smith’s late equalizer as they secured a 3-3 draw. However, the result meant that City fell short of Capalaba on the basis of games won and were relegated from the NPL Queensland. Brady finished the season as City’s most profitable outlet in attack, racking up four goals and ten assists over the campaign, consequently responsible for over a third of his side's 37 goals.

Olympic FC

Brady departed Brisbane City after their relegation, signing on with Olympic FC for the 2021 NPL Queensland season. He made his debut in a 1-0 win over Gold Coast United on the opening day of the season, starting before being substituted in the second-half.
