Early life
Brattan was born in Hull, England, but moved to Australia when he was six months old. His father Gary formerly played for Hull City, as well as Heidelberg United in the NSL.
Brisbane Roar
Brattan made his senior debut as a 19-year-old in the Queensland Roar's "Against Racism" clash against Scottish football giants Celtic in 2009, displaying early potential. His debut A-League appearance was away to Perth Glory in December 2009. Often described as one of the best passers of the ball at the club, Brattan finally nailed down a regular spot in the Brisbane Roar starting side after two seasons hampered by injury. He scored the winning goal against Melbourne Victory on 22 March 2014 to award Brisbane the Premiers Plate. In the 2013-14 season Brattan capped a great year by being named in the 2013-14 PFA A-League Team of the Season.
Brattan was released by the club in the run up to the 2015-2016 A-League season following disputes over unpaid superannuation.
Manchester City
Following his release from Brisbane Roar, Brattan was linked with a move to English Premier League side Manchester City. On 26 October 2015, Brattan completed the free transfer move to Manchester City on a four-year deal.
Bolton Wanderers loan
On the same day of signing for Manchester City, he was immediately sent out on loan to Bolton Wanderers in the Championship until 3 January 2016. However, the loan was cut short by two weeks and Brattan was recalled by his parent club without having played a single game for Bolton Wanderers.
Melbourne City loan
In June 2016, Brattan joined Melbourne City on a one-year loan deal. He made his first appearance in a City shirt in a 5-0 friendly match win over Port Melbourne SC on 20 July 2016. On 1 August 2017, Melbourne City announced that Brattan's loan deal at the club had been extended for an additional year.
International career
Brattan was called up for the senior Australian team for the first time as an injury replacement for captain Mile Jedinak for the 2018 World Cup Qualifier against Bangladesh in Perth.
