Stoke City

Born in Birmingham, West Midlands, Brunt started his football career with Bristol City's youth team before joining Stoke City's academy in 2010. Brunt began well at Stoke scoring a hat trick against Walsall reserves in September 2010. However Brunt missed most of the 2010–11 season after suffering a cruciate knee ligament injury. After recovering from his injury Brunt joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Nantwich Town on loan and his first game for them was in the FA Cup first round against Milton Keynes Dons which Nantwich lost 6–0. Whilst still out on loan at Nantwich, Brunt played and scored in a reserve match for Stoke against Rotherham United. He impressed watching Luton Town manager Gary Brabin who signed Brunt on a month's work experience on 16 November 2011. He made six appearances for Luton before returning to Stoke after an extension could not be agreed.

On 27 January 2012 Brunt joined League One side Tranmere Rovers on a one-month loan. He made his Football League debut as an 85th minute substitute in a 1–1 draw at home to Huddersfield Town. He scored his first professional goal with a low shot from a Martin Devaney cross in a 1–1 home draw with Charlton Athletic on 18 February 2012. Brunt extended his loan with Rovers for a second month.

In July 2012 Brunt joined League One club Leyton Orient on a six-month loan. He scored his first goal for Orient in a 1–0 win over Brentford at home on 13 September 2012, despite appearing to be in an offside position. He ended his loan spell with Orient having scored three goals in 22 appearances.

Bristol Rovers

Brunt joined League Two team Bristol Rovers on a two-and-a-half-year contract on 23 January 2013. He made his debut for Rovers in a 3–1 away win over Rotherham United on 26 January 2013, being fouled for a penalty kick that was scored before being substituted after 81 minutes. He scored his first goal for Rovers with a shot from a narrow angle during injury time of his home debut against Barnet in a 2–1 victory.

Brunt joined League Two club York City on a one-month emergency loan on 30 September 2014, with his debut coming in a 0–0 home draw with Portsmouth on 4 October. He made six appearances for York before the loan expired on 1 November 2014. Brunt returned to Bristol Rovers and started the games against Tranmere Rovers, Alfreton Town and Kidderminster Harriers before the arrival of Nathan Blissett and Bradley Goldberg on loan pushed Brunt back down the pecking order at Rovers. He was loaned out again on 27 November 2014, this time to League Two side Stevenage until January 2015.

Plymouth Argyle

On 20 January 2015, Brunt signed for League Two side Plymouth Argyle on an 18-month deal.
