Career
Brett made his debut for Cowdenbeath in the 2009–10 season.[2]
In February 2017 he was suspended by the club after he admitted breaching professional conduct rules on gambling,[3][4] before being sacked four days later.[5] He had earlier received a four-match ban from the Scottish Football Association for homophobic tweets.[6][7][8]
On 8 March 2017 Brett signed for Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic until the end of the season.[9] After leaving the club at the end of his contract, Brett returned to senior football, signing for Scottish League Two club Montrose on 11 June 2017.[10] Brett, however, left the club less than three weeks after joining, citing lengthy travel times to and from the club as his main motivation behind quitting.[11]
Shortly after leaving Montrose, Brett re-signed for SJFA East Superleague side Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic.[12][13]
Personal life
In January 2015 his girlfriend died from cancer; their newborn daughter had died in 2014.[14]
