Club career

Brit was born in San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa. Having grown through the ranks of Real Sociedad and played as a senior with modest clubs, mostly in the Basque Country, he made his debut in La Liga with CA Osasuna in the 2002–03 season. [1] Subsequently, he served three loans in the Segunda División and, after only 17 games with the Navarrese's main squad over two separate campaigns, was released in summer 2006. [2]

In 2007–08, Brit was an important member for CD Numancia in their championship-winning season after having joined the Soria side the previous year, contributing 26 matches and nine goals to this feat. [3] Highlights included braces in 2–1 wins against Xerez CD (home) [4] and UD Las Palmas (away). [5]

Brit returned to the Basque region in late July 2009, signing for Real Unión who had recently promoted to the second tier. [6] He experienced one of his best seasons as a professional by scoring 14 league goals, but the team was immediately relegated. [7]
