Club career
Spain
Born in Seville , Andalusia , Brachi only played lower league football in his country, representing the reserve teams of both Real Betis and RCD Espanyol .[ 1]
He spent two seasons in the Segunda División B , being relegated in 2007–08 and 2009–10 with Espanyol B .[ 2]
Anorthosis and Videoton
In the summer of 2010, Brachi joined Anorthosis Famagusta FC on loan. His debut in professional football took place on 29 August, as he came on as a late substitute in a 3–2 away win against Alki Larnaca FC in the Cypriot First Division .
Subsequently, Brachi spent four years in Hungary at the service of Videoton FC , signing at the same time as compatriot Héctor Sánchez . He was regularly played by Paulo Sousa [ 3] – a total of 39 matches in his first two years in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I – but, after his replacement with fellow Portuguese coach José Gomes , became a fringe player.
Brachi left Videoton on 30 June 2015.[ 4]

Brachi signed for NK Domžale in January 2016, after responding to an advertisement from the Slovenian club posted on LinkedIn .[ 5]
