Braley played his early rugby with St Mary's Old Boys RFC. His first taste of senior rugby came when he made his full debut at the age of 17, playing in two British and Irish Cup games for his home city club Bristol against Cornish Pirates and Ayr.

Braley has been an England age group international from U16 level upwards where, selected for England U20s, his team won the 2013 IRB Junior World Championship with a 23–15 win over Wales in the final held at Vannes, France. He also skippered the successful defence of England U20s Junior World Championship at the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship.

On 18 June 2014, Braley left Bristol to sign for Gloucester Rugby from the 2014–15 season. [1] [2]

In 2019, Braley gained his first senior international caps for Italy off the bench against Ireland and Russia in World Cup warm-up matches. Italy's final warm-up match gave Braley his first start against England. Braley qualifies for the Italian team through his Italian grandfather. [3] [4]

Braley was part of the Italy squad for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, and the 2020 Six Nations Championship. [5] He has represented Italy on over 15 occasions with a try from 2019 to 2022. [6]

Braley left Gloucester for Pro14 side Benetton at the end of the 2019–20 season. [7] [8] He played with Benetton until the 2021–22 season. [9] [10]

On 23 February 2022, Braley returns to England to join Northampton Saints back in the Premiership Rugby ahead of the 2022–23 season. [11]
