Early life

Born in Portsmouth, Brett was introduced to football at an early age by her father, who took her to Portsmouth matches as a season ticket holder. She began playing football at a young age and spent time in both the Portsmouth and Southampton youth set-ups before moving to the Chelsea centre of excellence at the age of nine.[ citation needed ]

Looking for more playing time, Brett joined Bristol City on a long-term loan from Chelsea ahead of the 2016 season. [4] Brett would register 20 appearances and scoring 3 goals contributing to Bristol's promotion to FA WSL 1. The loan-deal was subsequently extended through the 2017 Spring Series. [2] [5]

Early into the 2018-19 season, Brett suffered a severe foot injury which required specialist operative treatment. The procedure was not successful. Brett underwent subsequent remedial operations which precluded her participation in the 2019–20 and 2020-21 seasons.[ citation needed ]
