He returned to his home country after the 2008–09 season, having won a number of titles with Frankfurt. At the end of the 2009-10 season, where he was unable to play many games because of study commitments, Brierley decided to return to Germany, if able to find employment there. [3]

He made his debut for Germany against Georgia on 7 February 2009 and was player of the year in the World Cup Qualifier games. [1]
