Playing style

Bran is a very typical Defensive Midfielder, that covers a lot of terrain on the pitch being very fast and using very aggressive tackles and tight marking. Once he recuperates the ball he tends to pass it very quickly to his nearest teammate.

Although he is mainly a defensive midfielder he can play in several positions in the back specially as wingback in both sides of the pitch.

Career

He played most of his career in Quito for El Nacional where he was part of the team that took the 2005 and 2006 Ecuadorian championship, although he was mainly a substitute player. Then he was released and had a short spell in the Ecuadorian Serie B playing for Manta F.C., the next year he went back to the first division with the then newly promoted Deportivo Azogues where he had a terrific year and was called up to defend the Ecuadorian National team a couple of times. The next year he was transferred to Deportivo Cuenca and at the end of 2008 due to a financial crisis the club had to release him and he was quickly picked up by former youth team and Ecuadorian giants Emelec.
