Club Career
In his first professional season, 1929, Brady was the New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership's top try-scorer with 11 tries.
A year later, Brady was the star of the first rugby league grand final ever played in Australia, scoring 3 tries in the match that gave the Magpies their first premiership success. Four years later, he was a member of the club's second grand final win when they defeated the Roosters 15-12. He scored 71 tries in his time with the Magpies, at the time a club record, later eclipsed by Peter Dimond.
Joining the recently-formed Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs in 1936, Brady captain-coached Canterbury to victory in the 1938 grand final, giving him the rare achievement of playing in the first premiership victory for two different clubs. He was coach of the Canterbury side that lost the 1940 grand final.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or career:
“I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth.”
—Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
