Bragg joined the Southampton academy when he was eight years-old.[4] He was part of the Southampton U18 side that won the Under-18 Premier League South in 2021–22,[5] and reached the semi-final of the FA Youth Cup during the 2022–23 season.[6] He signed his first professional contract with the club in July 2023.[7][8]
During the 2023–24 season, Bragg began to be included in Southampton first-team match-day squads in the EFL Championship.[9] He made his professional debut on 6 January 2024, in the FA Cup in a 4–0 victory against Walsall.[10][11] After his debut game, manager Russell Martin praised him saying he was "really good when he came on" and "I like him as a young man and as a footballer. He's got such a good understanding, learns quickly, and asks questions. It was nice to get him on the pitch because he deserved that".[12]
On 31 July 2024, Bragg signed a one-year contract extension with Southampton and joined Crawley Town on a season-long loan.[13] He made his debut for the club on 10 August 2024 in a 2–1 victory against Blackpool.[14] On 3 January 2025, Bragg was recalled from loan and returned to Southampton.[15][16]
Due to Tom Fellows, Flynn Downes and Caspar Jander being ruled out through illness, Bragg was included in Southampton's first-team match-day squad against Blackburn Rovers on 25 October 2025, and he made his league debut after replacing Shea Charles in the 80th minute.[17][18] On 11 December, Bragg signed a one-year contract extension.[19][20] He scored his first professional goal for the club on 10 January 2026 in a 3–2 away victory against Doncaster Rovers in the FA Cup.[21]
