Biography

Arriving at Tannadice in summer 2023 on the back of a Scottish Youth Cup final hat-trick for Renfrewshire-based outfit Thorn Athletic, Brandon hit the ground running for United's under-18s in the CAS Elite League. Hitting the net 18 times across all competitions, he earned a one-year deal with United in June 2024.

He made just two first-team appearances for United, both coming in the Scottish League Cup, before making a move to Norwich City for an undisclosed fee on August 30, 2024.

Most notably, he marked his senior debut by curling in a 30-yard free-kick against Ayr United.
