Timeline

1987

John Robert Brayford (born 29 December 1987) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Burton Albion.

Born in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, he began his career at Burton Albion, which was then a non-League club, before moves to Crewe Alexandra and Derby County preceded his time at Cardiff City.

2008

He made almost 80 league appearances, before signing for League One side Crewe Alexandra on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee on 1 September 2008.

Burton later revealed that the fee was an initial up-front payment of £80,000, which would be raised to £130,000 if he were to progress into the first team.

He made his debut for the club in a 3–0 defeat to Scunthorpe United on 11 October.

Although Brayford's first season with Crewe ended in relegation for the club, it was a successful season on a personal level, as he won the Fans' Player of the Season, and attracted the interest of several bigger clubs.

2009

In the summer of 2009, Crewe confirmed Brayford's former manager Nigel Clough was interested in taking Brayford to Derby County, and that they were prepared to sell him to a club that matched Crewe's valuation of the player.

No deal materialised however and Brayford remained with Crewe for the full 2009–10 season, missing just one game and being named captain.

Starting the season at right back, he finished it at centre half and earned a place in the PFA League Two Team of the Season as well as retaining the club's Player of the Season award.

With this form, Derby's long standing interest seemed to have reached its conclusion with reports that the Crewe had agreed a deal for £400,000 plus add-ons, though this was denied by Crewe boss Dario Gradi.

Brayford was again linked with Derby as part of a joint £1m move to the Rams with teammate James Bailey, with Crewe confirming that an offer for the pair, of around £1m, rising to £1.3m with add-ons and a percentage sell on clause, had been accepted.

2010

Brayford formally completed his move to Derby County on 19 May 2010 for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year deal.

With the sale of Paul Connolly to Leeds United, Brayford found himself as the only naturally right sided defender at the club and was placed straight into the first team during the club's 2010–11 pre-season fixtures.

Brayford kept his place when the 2010–11 Championship season began, and played every minute of all Derby's 48 league and cup matches during the season.

Although primarily employed as a right back, consistent injuries to other members of the Derby defence saw Brayford employed at centre-back and left-back through the course of the campaign.

Earning plaudits for his ability to combine an attacking role with his defensive duties, Brayford scored once (in a 4–1 home victory over Watford) and assisted three times, and was considered one of the star performers as Derby initially challenged for promotion (being 4th in the table in November 2010) before a run of 4 wins in 24 games saw them plummet down to 19th in the table by the end of April.

2011

He was named the Derby County Supporters' Club Player of the Year at a Gala Dinner on 19 April 2011, before picking up the Jack Stamps Trophy before the final home game of the season against Bristol City on 30 April, having won the voting by a "considerable margin."

In August 2011, Brayford signed a new contract extending his stay at the club until the summer of 2014.

He appeared in Derby's first ten games of the season, as Derby had their best start to a season for over 106 years, picking up 19 points from the first 10 games to sit third in the table.

However, an injury in training, prior to the match against league leaders Southampton, ended a run of 59 consecutive appearances and caused him to miss his first minutes of Derby action since joining 15 months previously.

In his absence, Derby recorded just five points from six games to fall out of the play off places.

Brayford returned in a 2–0 defeat against Hull City on 19 November 2011, however he picked up a thigh injury in the following game.

keeping him out of action for a further three weeks.

Having returned to the side, a recurrence of his thigh injury in February ruled Brayford out for a further six weeks.

2012

Brayford returned to the first team squad in April 2012, but was unable to reclaim a regular spot in Derby's starting eleven.

Brayford started the 2012–13 season as the regular starter at right back once more and scored his first goal in over two years in a 4–1 win at home to Blackpool.

In November, Brayford was linked with a move to Premier League side West Ham United amid rumours that Derby needed to raise funds in the summer, although Rams manager Nigel Clough denied the rumours.

During the January transfer window, Brayford was linked with a move to Championship leaders Cardiff City, but after the window closed he dismissed the rumours and stated his intention to stay at Derby.

Brayford's ever-present role in Derby's starting eleven during the season was apparently ended in early March when he sustained a torn hamstring.

2013

Brayford did return for the final five games of the season, but having only a year left on his contract, manager Nigel Clough expected Brayford to move to a Premier League club during the summer of 2013.

The first confirmed interest in Brayford came at the end of June 2013, when a £1m bid from Wigan Athletic was rejected by Derby.

A month later, a £1.5 million bid from Premier League newcomers Cardiff City was accepted.

On 26 July 2013 Brayford signed a four-year contract with Cardiff City, becoming their second signing of the summer.

Brayford was unable to make the break into Cardiff's first team however, playing only two League Cup matches during the first half of the 2013–14 season.

He failed to even make the substitutes' bench in any other match, and did not even make the Cardiff bench for their league games.

2014

On 24 January 2014 Brayford joined Sheffield United on loan until the end of the season, to be reunited with Nigel Clough for the third time in his career, and made his debut two days later in a 1–1 FA Cup draw with Fulham.

2017

He also spent time on loan at Sheffield United prior to joining permanently, and returned to Burton on a permanent basis in 2017.

He has made seven appearances for the England C team.

As a youth player, Brayford had played for Manchester City but was released by the club at a young age.

He instead joined non-League side Burton Albion, becoming the first graduate of the club's revamped youth academy.
